A user running Unsloth's Q4_K_S at 150k context with q8 KV cache reported the model pulling a class schedule out of a tangle of university websites from one prompt with zero intervention. In a second run it investigated a social media user, downloaded a public video, extracted frames at intervals to watch it, installed OpenAI Whisper to transcribe the audio, then selectively zoomed and brightened frames. (r/LocalLLaMA) 518 upvotes, and the top reply (246 upvotes) asks whether the poster worries it might withdraw them from university. That's the right instinct. A local model with that much initiative and no sandbox is a bad configuration.
