What can I realistically do?

I am currently building up a local assistant profile on my MacBook Pro M2 with 32gbs.

With Claude I am building out this Hermes agent to be my assistant. I am using Qwen3.6 A3B 4bit. We have Frankensteined a system that allows it to add events to my calendar and text me a morning brief when I wake up my MacBook in the mornings.

It’s been a lot of work 😅

The end goal / the dream is to be able to chat with my assistant through messages and emails so that it can be proactive with my calendar and help me as organized as possible.

The hole thing is set up with oMLX with 24gbs memory cap. It’s tight. My worry is that the dream isn’t feasible with what I am working with. And would like my expectations adjusted jajaja

I know a dedicated device would be better but I can afford that just yet.

Any suggestions would be great! I have no idea what I am doing lol

Is it dead?

This happened after it updated on May 13th. It was working fine when it suddenly lost a lot of battery. I connected to charge and then the screen turned to this. It’s not responsive. I’ve held the sleep button down to restarting. Nothing. I left it charging for hours and it didn’t change anything. Since that day I have left it alone hoping the battery would die but it seems like it’s still frozen. Any suggestions?
