I'm curious if in proxy mode it works also with remote models or only with local models.

Also, did someone tried it with local Qwen 3.6?

I believe there's a comment below mentioning "qwen" but not a specific version number - if you're looking for 3rd party validation. I've personally tried qwen3.6-35b-a3b, qwen3.5-35b-a3b, and qwen3.5-27b with forge (agentic coding harness built on forge workflowrunner) and it works great. Official forge eval benchmarks for that class of models is still a couple of weeks out.

Proxy mode should work fine with remote models, the only constraint is the compatible endpoint - which is standard anyways. I don't think you'd have any issue hitting either a remote gateway like liteLLM or just claude API.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to so many questions. I am really excited about this and for me and my usage seems to be one of the most important breakthroughs in AI in the last year because it makes the models better.

It would be nice if you can continue working and improving the tool and I hope other people will jump to help.

You're very welcome! I've seen some good PRs come through and merges are starting. I need 24-48 hours to get the conference demo and travel sorted then work can continue at a faster pace! No intention of dropping forge, plenty more to do especially around the proxy.
