I've been using qwen3.6 35b since it came out with really good results, this is a cherry on top. Thanks for sharing!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

I find it's the first model I can run locally that actually feels genuinely useful for coding. I'm really excited about what things might look like in another year. We might really get current frontier model performance on a laptop at this rate.
Unfortunately the new MTP model doesn't work yet with my LM Studio + Claudish + Claude Code setup. Will need to wait for support to be merged into the lm Studio ROCm llama.cpp runtime.
@davel@lemmy.ml the requirements for running Qwen just got significantly lower, it's basically the best local model at the moment
Thanks. I haven’t bought hardware to run things locally yet. I did buy some DeepSeek tokens this weekend to play around with. Maybe I should rent until the bubble pops and then buy a supercomputer at fire sale prices.
Oh yeah, that's definitely the best approach if you don't already have the hardware since DeepSeek is just absurdly cheap to use. Eventually, hardware prices are going to come down, and local models are going to keep getting more efficient too. So, dumping a few grand on a rig right now doesn't really make much sense.
