5 days of work with qwen3.8:27b

Exploring the Capabilities of Qwen 3.8: A Journey into 3D Game Development Over the past five days, I have been testing and pushing the boundaries of the Qwen 3.8 model,…

I ran 26 local LLMs through an 8 level “agentic failure mode” gauntlet (tool calling, on an M1 Max). Capability benchmarks lie about who can actually run an agent loop. All local, llama.cpp + Metal, GGUF. 8 tests, 3 reps each, same prompts and seeds for every model thinking OFF

Comprehensive Evaluation of Local Language Models in Agentic Failure Scenarios Introduction In the rapidly evolving landscape of large language models (LLMs), capabilities often get quantified through benchmarks emphasizing tasks like…
