Summary

User compares Gemma4:31b and Qwen3.6:27b/35b(a10) for Python scripting in opencode, preferring Gemma4 despite stubbornness, due to fewer hallucination issues with typos.

Using them in opencode. Mainly writing python scripts to set up workflows. I really do like Gemma4 even though it just sometimes doesn’t want to go the extra length. I really have to end up pushing it. It’s like really stubborn or something lol For both Qwen models, they’re great and work really well. But I keep getting really bad issues with typos in code that are tough to trouble shoot. One was a typo in the directory. It just hallucinated what a folder was called. Zero of these issues with Gemm4 though.
