A developer compared Inkling-Small-276B-12B (max effort) and Qwen3.6-27B on a complex physics engine coding task using a DGX Spark.
- Inkling-Small: Thought for 6 minutes before writing a large amount of hacky code, eventually dumping the file with a short summary.
- Qwen3.6-27B: Recognized the task's complexity within 38 seconds and laid out an architectural plan with key physics concepts. It then created classes and methods similar to a game engine. After implementation, it conducted multiple rounds of self-review, checking classes, critical functions, HTML tags, and JavaScript brackets, while verifying all requested features were implemented.
The test indicates Qwen3.6 demonstrates superior architectural planning and rigorous self-correction in complex engineering tasks.
