Any opinion about Qwen3.6-27B@BF16 vs Step3.7@IQ4_XS?
Mirrored from r/LocalLLaMA for archival readability. Support the source by reading on the original site.
Obviously one is dense, slower but at full precision, and the other is MoE, 7x more params, less than ideal quant, and will eat up more memory, but my question is: Which would make saner decisions with less hand-holding, ie which is genuinely smarter?
I've been using Qwen-Coder-Next@Q8 since its release. It's fine. I review every single edit or bash command, but it's getting tiresome. The model is just not a very good programmer. Tends to write a shit ton of sub-optimal code with very little concern for maintainability.
