Considering the full fat Qwen3.5-plus is good, but barely Sonnet 4 good in my testing (but incredibly cheap!) I doubt the quantised versions are somehow as good if not better in practice.

I think it depends on work pattern.

Many do not give Sonnet or even Opus full reign where it really pushes ahead of over models.

If you're asking for tightly constrained single functions at a time it really doesn't make a huge difference.

I.e. the more vibe you do the better you need the model especially over long running and large contexts. Claude is heading and shoulders above everyone else in that setting.

When you say Sonnet 4, do you mean literally 4, or 4.6?
