You're not wrong; but... imho it's closer to Sonnet 4.0 [1] on my personal benchmark [2]. And I HAVE run it at just over 200Ktoken context, it works, it's just a bit slow at that size. It's not great, but ... usable to me? I used Sonnet 4.0 over api for half a year or so before, after all.

Only way to know if your own criteria are now matched -or not yet- is to test it for yourself with your own benchmark or what have you.

And it does show a promising direction going forward: usable (to some) local models becoming efficient enough to run on consumer hardware.

[1] released mid-2025

[2] take with salt - only tests personal usability

+ Note that some benchmarks do show Qwen3.5-35B-A3B matching Sonnet 4.5 (released later last year); but I treat those with the same skepticism you do , clearly ;)
