User report: Qwen 2.5 72B struggles with agentic coding tasks vs DeepSeek/Claude
BuahahaXD · reddit · 2026-08-19
A user tested Qwen 2.5 72B (Q6K quantized) for agentic coding using Cline and ZooCode on dual 3090Tis. Despite using a modified prompt template to reduce effort, the model frequently entered loops or fixated on non-issues, performing significantly worse than DeepSeek V4 Flash and Claude Code. The user is seeking advice on configuration or potential 'overthinking' issues.
