I was wrong: Small is the new big for local AI agents

SMRTR summary

Small Language Models running locally through frameworks like CrewAI are proving more effective than large parameter models for practical AI tasks. Instead of waiting for massive 13b parameter models to slowly generate responses, specialized small agents working together can write code, review it, and document it quickly on standard M1 Macs, delivering faster performance while keeping data secure and private locally.
