Out of curiosity, what's currently the best model I can use locally?
With an unlimited budget, Kimi K3 (which is quite comparable to this Qwen Max imo). With a normal budget/a PC you might already have, probably Qwen 3.6 27B.
$500k - Kimi K3 (maybe $250k? Haven’t done this one)
$25k - DSv4 Flash
$4k - Qwen 3.6 35A3B Q5
$1k - Qwen 3.6 27B Q4
Some people prefer the sense over the MoE YMMV.
