This is the golden age of model training. Some days ago, I decided I wanted a local CPU only model that can perform exceptionally well for English to Bash translation (to avoid the googling for command syntax). I got a bunch of subagents to generate large amount of training data (140k+ samples), got the Qwen 3 0.6B base model, pointed Astra at it, and off to the races. It trained for 2 days (on and off) and I got a surprisingly good model for my task! The total active time I spent was a few hours. And it is still improving, what a time to be alive!

You can never vibecode and build a ML model
I REPEAT NEVER

Tweet by biraj replying 'actually you can' with a Hacker News comment (GodelNumbering, on Ember-1) about training a local CPU-only English-to-Bash model on Qwen 3 0.6B with Astra and subagent-generated data, quoting Rithvik's post that you can never vibecode an ML model.
