Huh, running the Q4_K_M quant with LM Studio, and asked it "How can I set up Qwen 3.6 27b to use tools and access the local file system?".
Part of its reply was: Quick clarification: As of early 2025, "Qwen 3.6" hasn't been released yet. You are likely looking for Qwen2.5, specifically the Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct model, which is the 30B-class model closest to your 27B reference. The instructions below will use this model.
Weird.
Models are math functions that predict next word, not conscious beings. If it was trained on dataset including data up to Q1 2025, then that's more or less expected answer -- even Qwen 3 didn't exist.
If you see model that can reliably answer questions about itself (version, family, capabilities, etc), then it's most likely part of system prompt.
In absence of system prompt even Claude could say it's a model created by DeepSeek: https://x.com/stevibe/status/2026227392076018101
If you are talking with Claude about AI, it will sometimes passively bring up "frontier models like GPT-4o"
This is pretty standard in every model. Ask Opus or Gemini about 2026 (without a big system prompt to steer them) and they'll swear blind it's 2024/25 too.
