Curious why they're using 3.6-27B and not 3.8-27B which is competitive with Opus 4.6 (https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B)
The company also said that it chose Qwen3.6 over the newer Qwen3.8 (released earlier this month) because the latter runs slower on "today's Macs" since it needs reasoning enabled.
They’re also targeting 64GB M5 Pro and up as “today’s Macs” which perform fine with reasoning enabled.
