A Reddit user claims Qwen-Next 3.8 and 3.8 27B now rival Claude Sonnet 5.5 (low/medium) on coding tasks, arguing local open models sit at the cutting edge with only months of lag. They cite a real project where Qwen-Next recovered from a failure by GPT-Sol-6-High, while noting the version numbers are unverified and inviting community benchmarks.
