I think the use case for this sort of model would be building something like Google or Apple's agents on device. Find an email for me, write a message for me, add an appointment to my calendar etc. Simple agentic stuff, not writing apps.
I get that impression to, but why are there so many assistant models released? It must be a very small niche of people actually using them like that? Meta released Muse Glimmer recently, this model, Qwen is made for agentic workflow, Gemma 4 is agentic, all modern models are agentic. So there must be more to it than some hobbyists wanting to automate their calendars and emails.
