27B model on AMD mini-PC fixes operator bug, then overreaches
A developer used a local 27B parameter model on an AMD Strix Halo machine to fix a hardcoded 60-second timeout bug in their Kubernetes operator. The model produced the correct fix, but also wrote two unrelated tests that were caught on review. The fix shipped in version 0.8.16, with requests now completing in 128 seconds.
