Hey, I think I might need help or a sanity check here. I'm not in a hurry to justify use cases. I'm just using Openclaw to learn, to get litterate, eventualy to get freedom from big tech labs.
I got started using cowork to better understand AI agentic systems; MDs, harnesses, systems and APIs and stuff. I then moved to OC and currently running Qwen3 8B on my 2070 GPU through Ollama.
I set up cowork to help me setup by accessing my OC directory. I then used a new slack workspace to connect cowork running a scheduled task (haiku to not blow up my usage) so that it can check new messages every so often and reply. Also setup my slack app bot to my openclaw so that I can chat with then both.
After a bit of fiddling around and asking cowork to fix my configs, I have to say. Qwen 8b is pretty frigging dumb??? And it breaks all the time? Ok, I understand its an 8b model but with my current GPU, I don't think I can realistically run bugger models. (also limited to 16 go ram) .
I know you guys will tell me to switch to a third party cloud running deepseek 4 flash or something 256 b. But first I need to understand, am I truly limited buy my GPU, or did I do something wrong or even if there is a significantly better 8b model I should switch to ?
Thanks for not making too much fun of me, I'm a non technical tinkerer that just does this for fun.
