I tried to run Qwen 3.6 27b locally a few months ago and all those synthetic tests do tell you something and quite a lot of people were very excited about that model but honestly? It wasn’t even close to default mode in Cursor or Sonnet at the time.
I’m all for local models and I do want them to be the future but I wonder when, and if ever, we’ll catch up to a level of, let’s say Opus 4.6. I guess it’s currently doable but requires $50k hardware?
