- The non-hallucination rate in AA-omniscience is SOTA, better than Opus 4.7, Gemini 3.1 Pro and GPT5.5! Congrats to the team
- I was getting dangerously close to my weekly Claude Code limit last night so I had Claude set up Qwen3.6 with llama.cpp and OpenCode. Honestly it's a great (free!) alternative to Claude Code--certainly more than good enough for a lot of smaller less complex tasks. I'm excited to try this new version. The fact that open-source models are so close to the frontier is very impressive.
- As they start to release more proprietary models, I so wish that they partnered with one of the major US hyperscalers to allow using these models through something US-domiciled.
Totally understand why it may not be reasonable or in their best interest (and that the US is _absolutely_ not doing the same reflexively). But it would be lovely to be able to try these out on production workloads in earnest.
- These are very good numbers. I still don’t get why they don’t compare against latest competitor versions in these posts, it’s not like we’re all not going to notice.
- No opus 4.7 , gpt5.5 , Gemini flash 3.5 in benchmarks
- Is this one of those ones where they'll drop the huggingface release a week later? Or do we know for sure that this is staying proprietary?
- Looking forward to more open weight releases from Qwen, especially 122B and 397B.

- I'm using pi agent and love to try qwen models (hosted). What are the good options? The official provider doesn't include Alibaba. Is OpenRouter etc. fast enough?
(As a reference, DeepSeek v4 is severely throttled on these proxy services.)
- I just started messing with local LLMs and honestly I’m pretty impressed. I have a workstation laptop with an NVIDIA A1000 (6GB VRAM) and 96GB of RAM. I rarely used my gpu. Occasional CAD design or Machine Learning with OpenCV.
I ran llama3:latest and it ran pretty fast! I’m curious to see how Qwen would run on my system.
- The pattern I trust most is adding a small verification artifact after every external action. Agents usually fail from silent state drift faster than from lack of reasoning depth.
- QWEN really hits the sweet spot
it's cheap, fast, and actually good.

- Checking openrouter (it's not available yet) and, uh, what's up with the spike in Qwen usage from early april here? https://openrouter.ai/qwen
Is this normal humans kicking the tires on a new model, or a few whales doing serious benchmarks?
- It is super strange that all last (3?) releases they keep comparing older models such as Opus-4.6.

- Any reports from people using their coding agent(s)?
- Any info on pricing and latency?
- Where can a user reasonably host this in an affordable way to access the local LLM revolution?
- Trying to buy Qwen credits and get an API key is a challenge all in itself. So many site redirects.

- The tokenomics and value for capability, context and latency look like they could deliver super competitive offer - what would it take for you to switch??

- congrats to qwen teams, remarkable
- Downloading this and cancelling Google Antigravity Pro at the same time:
I had a Google Pro account that I inherited from buying a Pixel 9 XL - it's free for a year after a flagship Pixel phone purchase. After a year they started charging for it, and i tolerated it, because Flash was usable in Antigravity for dumb auxiliary tasks that I did not want to waste GPT/Opus on. It had a separate generous quota from Gemini 3.1 Pro. Now with Flash 3.5 they combined the quotas with Pro, such that on a Google pro account you can work 4-5 hours per week in Flash. And by the way, 3.1 Pro is useless for programming, compared to Codex/Opus

- I really like what Qwen are doing, and a lot of these Chinese labs, but until I can ask their models what happened during the student protests in 1989 or why human rights groups are upset about the Uighurs and the model gives me a straight answer I'm just not able to trust these models with anything of substance.
- Does anyone have experience with the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio that serves these qwen models?

- I can't bring myself to use any model that trains or sends telemetry back to my country's primary competitor/adversary. I don't care how much money is saved.

- Can anyone check its knowledge base for me? I’m honestly not able to run it and the Qwen models I can run censor information critical towards the Chinese government.
Tiananmen Square is the first place to start.
