In the meantime, Ollama seems to default to "Q4_K_M" which is barely usable for anything, and really won't be useful for agentic coding, the quantization level is just too low. Not sure why Ollama defaults to basically unusable quantizations, but that train left a long time ago, they're more interesting in people thinking they can run stuff, rather than flagging things up front, and been since day 1.
