Key Points

  • The Reddit post notes that Qwen 3.5 122b can reason through tasks with surprising naturalness when run locally.
  • It provides an example where the model says it will create API routes by first reviewing existing routes to follow a consistent pattern, demonstrating self-guided planning.
  • The author argues this showcases the power of open, locally runnable AI systems for development work.
  • The post highlights the potential for local AI models to support real-world app development workflows without depending on cloud services.

I’m building an app with this model locally, and I’ve been genuinely surprised by how naturally it reasons through tasks.

At one point it said:
“Now that both services are created, I need to create the API routes - let me first look at how existing routes are structured to follow the same pattern.”

That kind of self guided planning feels unusually intuitive for a local model.

Models like this are a reminder of how powerful open and locally runnable systems can be.
