Summary

The author highlights the impressive capabilities of the open-source Qwen 3.6-27B model running locally on an RTX 5090, noting its strong performance on programming tasks and comparing it favorably to commercial models, despite the complexity of local deployment.

@0xSero helped me setup local models properly and I uh, had no idea these things had gotten this good Are they frontier level? No, but considering this is running on just my 5090 it's remarkably capable First tests on a couple of programming tasks and the qwen 3.6-27b model with no reasoning feels about on par with something like sonnet 4-ish, probably better it's really impressive But also setting up local models isn't easy, I don't know nearly enough to talk much about it yet other than you need to know what you're doing to have a good experience. The out of the box stuff is not nearly as good as setting it up correctly
