I've also been using the Qwen3.5-27B and the new Qwen3.6 locally, both at Q6. I don't agree that they're as good as pre-Opus Claude. I really like how much they can do on my local hardware, but we have a long way to go before we reach parity with even the pre-Opus Claude in my opinion.

I run Qwen 3.5 122B-A10B on my MacBook Pro, and in my experience its capability level for programming and code comprehension tasks is roughly that of Claude Sonnet 3.7. Honestly I find that pretty amazing, having something with capability roughly equivalent to frontier models of an year ago running locally on my laptop for free. I’m eager to try Qwen 3.6 122B-A10B when it’s released.

What hardware do you use? I want to experiment with running models locally.
