Run the Mythos Enhanced Coding Model Locally with llama.cpp and Pi

Qwythos-9B-Claude-Mythos-5-1M is a 9B reasoning and coding model based on Qwen3.5, designed for local coding workflows, agentic development, and long-context tasks. What makes it interesting is that it is small enough to run on consumer hardware, while still being capable enough to help with practical coding tasks. In this guide, I will show you how to run the Mythos-enhanced Qwythos model locally using llama.cpp, then connect it to Pi so you can use it as a local coding agent. I will be using an RTX 4070 Ti Super with 16GB of VRAM, which allows me to run the Q6_K MTP quantization comfortably. If you have an 8GB GPU, I recommend starting with the Q4_K_M variant because it offers a…
