Today I have decided to go with (relatively) smaller models, than earlier

```bash
ollama rm qwen3.6:35b-a3b    # each session was 1h-1h30 / (40'--4h)
ollama rm qwen3.8:27b-mlx    # each session was 1h-1h30 / (40'--4h)
ollama pull ministral-3:14b
ollama pull ornith:9b
ollama list
ollama pull qwen3:14b
ollama rm qwen3.5:9b         # this was good
