Local Qwen Vision Model Spots Poisonous Oleander at Home, Accurately Diagnoses Skin Condition
Reasonable_Goat · reddit · 2026-09-12
A Redditor running a quantized Qwen 3.8 Flash Next with vision enabled locally (Strix Halo box, 180B params, CIRU Strix UL4 quant via llama-server, Chatbox on iPhone) got a practical win: photographing a gifted houseplant, the model identified it as oleander (Nerium oleander) and warned it's toxic to pets and children — news to the couple with a young kid, and both the ID and the toxicity claim checked out.
Follow-up test: the model highly accurately recognized a pre-diagnosed skin condition from a photo, suggesting local vision models as a privacy-safe alternative to uploading sensitive images to cloud services.
