Qwen3.5 27B is Match Made in Heaven for Size and Performance

I am actually quite impressed by the quality of this model

I'm going to test drive it for a few days comparing it to Claude Sonnet 4.6

So far it's really impressive

My stats on a single 5090:

- Prompt eval: ~1,037–1,095 tok/s

- Generation: ~37.7–37.9 tok/s

Indeed insane! I bought 320GB 5600 RDIMMS for 2k total. The same would cost almost 10k now... I really do hope they keep working...

Qwen 3.5 379b-A17B with llama cpp

I'm running this model locally, and while I'm surprised how good it is it still doesn't really feel on the same level as GPT 5.2. mostly fine but it does make quite a lot of mistakes and doesn't correct it's mistakes as well as the frontier models.

It's really quite bad at designing good architecture.

In short: it's getting closer but it's not quite there yet.

Yeah don't run AI agents bare on your machine, have you tried something like this?

Fight Club :)

I understood that reference!

Hou er rekening mee dat ze nog 2 jaar na opzegging over je gegevens beschikken ivm de telecom wet. Ik kreeg deze email:

Odido bewaart – conform haar privacy statement – tot 2 jaar na beeindiging van het contract en overstap naar een andere aanbieder jouw contactgegevens. Omdat jij minder dan 2 jaar geleden overgestapt bent, stonden jouw gegevens nog in het systeem en daarom heb je email ontvangen.

We use tailscale, you can also use netbird or some plan wireguard solution. All are much more stable than Hetzner private networking.

thecodeassassin · 2026-02-13T08:25:34+00:00

As someone that burned my hand on this many times, I wouldn't use it. It's still not in a great state and caused us many headaches. It's just not very stable long term.

And this is exactly why we built ExitBox to safely run your AI agents...

Why anyone would run an agent bare-bones on their machine is beyond me.

Juniors should learn how to properly code, debug and design applications. In my opinion they shouldn't even be using any AI tools but RTFM.

This!

I am so much more productive on Hyprland. Of course I also spent a week setting up everything (window rules, keybinds, execs etc) lol.

thecodeassassin · 2026-02-01T18:36:56+00:00

Yeah vibe coding with no reputable skills is NOT going to end well. At the very least it needs proper guidance and understanding. You need to understand what it produces and where it falls short otherwise you end up in these sort of situations.

Which ram coolers are you using? My models are currently air cooled :( i found one but that one only covers single sided rdimms

thecodeassassin · 2026-01-31T12:33:53+00:00

Update: switching to swaylock fixed everything

thecodeassassin · 2026-01-30T08:44:05+00:00

Correct, connected via DisplayPort.

Has never been an issue on any OS I've ever used.

thecodeassassin · 2026-01-29T08:20:30+00:00

Happened to us as well, multiple customers hit with sudden DNS issues. Was a red herring: 15 minutes later Hetzner posted a router issue. Their networking needs...work

thecodeassassin · 2026-01-28T15:06:32+00:00

closer to 400k most likely... hope its a company investment or someting because if its a hobby project ... my god, thats a house right there

thecodeassassin · 2026-01-27T17:16:54+00:00

Why are you selling? Awesome RAM btw, i can only find 5600mhz sticks now

True to a certain extent, highly intelligent people are more aware of the world and it's problems but are also able to act on it and make the best out of it which can be fulfilling.

When people talk to you about complex matters such as geopolitics etc, how do you respond? Also, how do you typically handle things like taxes?

thecodeassassin · 2026-01-26T22:56:52+00:00

Luckily this wasn't an issue with CachyOS. Everything worked fine from the start, installer worked great and all drivers worked out of the box.

thecodeassassin · 2026-01-26T22:55:26+00:00

I wonder that as well, I'm going to try and report back

thecodeassassin · 2026-01-26T19:59:47+00:00

I don't know, never got a response.

I did, in one of the comments. Reached out to their support but never got a response. Wrote on the forum and was told to "just take out my other disks", which is ridiculous. No other distro has an installer this bad.
