A1 Agent: New FREE Chinese AI is INSANE!

from AI News Today | Julian Goldie Podcast · host Julian Goldie

Agent A1: New Free Local Chinese Agentic Model (35B MoE) + Benchmarks, Speed & SetupThe video reviews Agent A1, a newly released free Chinese local model designed for agentic tasks, showing it running privately and offline inside an Agent Factory workflow alongside free Claude code. The host demos outputs like a landing page, a neon snake game, a “Dragon Realm” open-world game, a keyboard mini app, and a 3D solar system visualization, noting fast replies and that builds save to a workspace with optional voice control. Agent A1 is a 35B mixture-of-experts model (3B active) with a 256k context window, created by Intern Science in Shanghai and optimized for long-horizon search, engineering, scientific research, instruction following, and tool calling. It ranks #2 on the creator’s local leaderboard, outperforming Gemma 4 but trailing Qwable, and is reported around 95 tokens/sec locally on a Mac Studio M4. The video explains strengths/weaknesses, shows running via Ollama and configuring Hermes profiles, and promotes an Agent OS bundle plus OmniRoute routing across 90 free models.00:00 Meet Agent A100:31 Live Local Build Demo00:53 Leaderboard And Examples01:36 What A1 Actually Is02:29 Benchmarks Breakdown03:08 More Builds In Action03:45 Specs Speed And Context04:40 How To Run Locally04:43 Strengths And Weaknesses05:41 Hermes Setup Steps06:13 Agent OS And OmniRoute06:51 Get The Full Setup07:34 Wrap Up
