😂 Some of this sounds like a child wrote it (emphasis mine):
Well you would be given that no one else calls it that.
But also, have you heard of Qwen? Last time I checked it was as good if not better than American models! (I admit I could be wrong about that now as I haven't checked benchmarks in a few months now)
Well, it’s quite easy being the world leader in your just-made-up field
It's definitely better than American open-weight models. The gap between American flagship models and Chinese open-weight models is closing quickly though.
With the token prices of Chinese models, I seldom reach for American models anymore.
I've spent the last week or so coding an application using nothing but Qwen3.8-27B. I was curious how much I could do entirely with a local model running on my own personal hardware, and it turns out the answer was "everything."
Granted, it's not the fanciest application. But it's fun.
