> We've all heard people say that local Qwen 27B or 35-A3B is "near-Opus level"

Uh, so, yeah. Im running local Qwen, but Qwen3.5-122B using Krasis https://github.com/brontoguana/krasis

Its by far better than Opus.

In fact with a phone migration, I was using an OLD android 2fa app "andOTP". Backup files it emitted were JSON but not any sort of standard.

I needed the standards version using otpauth:// to upload in my current 2fa. And gave it to my local qwen3.5-122b.

It responded with a scary "you uploaded credentials to a public instance LLM! And, it emitted standards compliant URLs. The new app "Tokn" ingested just fine. When side by side was tested, everything was 100% correct.

I coukd have did it myself, but it was a one-off. And asking local Qwen worked perfectly. Took like 6 minutes. Would have taken me 1h.
