You now have me testing it with reasoning turned off, which I have never bothered much with on any other local models because it's rarely worth it.

The result appears to be almost as good as Qwen 3.6 35B A3B on medium thinking mode.

It second-guesses a little, it gives broader/more speculative answers, of course, and it missed the nuance of one of my prompts, but this gives me a lot more confidence that the Low reasoning effort is going to be as good as they say, and perhaps in some cases non-thinking looks like it would be enough.

Really useful, thanks.
