Ling-3.0-flash is another potential model to test before qwen3.8 27b

Reddit r/LocalLLaMA Models

Summary

Ling-3.0-flash is a new model that the author tested and found capable of fixing hard software bugs that Qwen3.6-27b could not, with speed similar to DeepSeek V4 flash. Its release has been delayed to August 6.

I tested Ling-3.0-flash with hard bugs and it fixed bugs that qwen3.6-27b could not. This models speed faster than deepseek v4 flash but almost the same level as (old) deepseek v4 flash. Note: hard bugs mean they don't have "error messages" but they are unexpected behaviors of a software. Most bugs with error messages can be fixed easily as they are already in training data. But it is harder for unexpected behaviors without error messages. That means it has to create hypothesis of the root causes and then create logging to trace values and then verify them. This tests its thinking capability, consistent in long conversation, and self-correction which most small-medium models fail. I post this because I hope llamacpp support it as I know the previous version still not support in llamacpp(correct me if I am wrong) PS: you can test it with openrouter free api. In my test I use it in kilo code. Actually, it should be released today but they delay the release to August 6.
