A developer building a local XML/JSON editor (JsonV) in AvaloniaUI/Ctested various local models for the task of syntax coloring the XML view. Most models failed or made a mess, but using Qwen3.8 Q6 (quantized to q80) with a custom "Automaton" harness, split across a 3090 and 3060, yielded success. The author shared the specific settings used to achieve this result.
