The new Qwen3.6-27B just gave me definitely the best pelican riding a bicycle I've had from a 16.8GB model file!
Here's Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B v.s. Claude Opus 4.7 for "Generate an SVG of a flamingo riding a unicycle", in case you thought Qwen might be cheating at the pelican benchmark
Shocking result on my pelican benchmark this morning, I got a better pelican from a 21GB local Qwen3.6-35B-A3B running on my laptop than I did from the new Opus 4.7!
