Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Qwen3.6-27B and Qwen3.8-27B are great. They are fast and quite accurate for not having to spend too much time thinking or searching, as other models with comparable scores have to.

But Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, which tops a lot of benchmarks in its category, is the most obvious Claude distill ever, and although I don't particularly care about how models get trained, I hate the way it sounds and interacts with me.

  • Three warts I'd still fix
  • Statements are down to the two things code can't say
  • The bug is fixed at the substrate that caused it
  • Genuinely good now
  • Also worth a conscious nod
  • Say the word on 1 and/or 3 and I'll do them

Not to mention Claude's over-the-top comments and git commit messages that make you want to scream.

I wish Alibaba would go back to adopting its own style. Qwen3.6-27B and Qwen3.8-27B sound much better.

I hate Claude's voice so much. So much ceremony spent on a few simple questions and caveats. I feel like AI defaults to assuming you have no idea what you're doing. ChatGPT is the same but with different verbal tics.

Let's cut down to the heart of the matter as you hit the nail squarely on the head

Never used Claude, but GPT-5.6 Sol annoyed me so much I actively avoid it and just use Terra on max. Sol is trained to favor convoluted San Francisco jargon that projects any trivial idea into some sort of an ingenious business maneuver.
