  • They integrated the model using opencode and asked it to write some Svelte 5 code.
  • The user reports a “perfect” result, suggesting the model performed well for that task.
  • Despite the positive outcome, the user notes the run took longer than paid APIs, implying trade-offs in speed or setup.
  • The post frames Qwen3.6’s coding ability as a signal that the coming months (and potentially AI coding) could be very interesting.

Got my 5th error on OpenAI models tonight and said “fuck it, let’s see how Qwen3.6-27b can do”.

Linked it up in opencode. Asked it to so some svelte 5.

Perfect result.

N=1 and it took longer than it would take the paid apis… the next 12 months will be quite interesting
