Having a local LLM gives me the peace of mind to do things like this. Using gptel-agent with Ollama running qwen3.5:27b:
So I was curious if it can do a simple speed test within Emacs. I then wanted the results in the same metrics that browsers use when downloading files, and it checks out. The model can call tools using gptel-agent, which is usually running Emacs Lisp, but it can also run bash. I wouldn't put this on making anything complex, but for simple web searching and doing fun things like this, it's surprisingly good.

I know there are a lot of fandom around Emacs and Vim, so I'd love to know how much it's different in terms of screen reading experience when using Vim versus Emacs. Are you using Emacs with the Emacs Speak desktop audio sweet by TV Raman? I always read his feature release and it was always gigantic and marvellous to witness the development of the suite month by month.

@kaveinthran Yes, I'm using Emacspeak. I've used VIM a few times but never found that it worked well with screen readers, at least the ones I've used most.

@jgoerzen I have access to an NVIDIA 4090. Not might personally though.
