memoryAgent Qwen
Privacy-preserving local familiar — Qwen 7B on Mac mini handles 90% of tasks locally, sanitizes queries before escalating to Opus. Zero-cost inference, full privacy, progressive training on CtC data.
Phase 1 complete: Ollama installed, Qwen 3 8B (5.2GB) pulled, 3 benchmarks passed (heartbeat 11.6s, formatting 18.7s, scope classification 29.9s). Phase 2: default agent model set to qwen3:8b, gateway restarted. Handles heartbeats/monitoring at $0 cost. Complex reasoning correctly identified as needing escalation to Opus (109.6s, textbook-level). Eval cron scheduled Mar 16 9AM on Sonnet (not grading own homework). Privacy-preserving matryoshka architecture (Alex Snow design).
Savings: ~$0.50-2.50/day on heartbeats alone (~$15-75/month). Target: 70%+ tasks handled locally.
