Teaching Qwen Next 3D sculpting in Blender by having GPT Astra coach it via MCP
LegacyRemaster · reddit · 2026-09-07
The author shares a faster alternative to distillation or fine-tuning: using Codex + GPT Astra as a teacher to guide OpenCode with the MCP Blender server, so open-source Qwen Next can replicate complex 3D sculpting modifications via explicit skills and steps. Verdict: Astra is phenomenal but burns through the Pro quota fast; properly guided, Qwen Next handles the same tasks without a hitch. Open models benefit directly as the frontier advances.
