Local Qwen model designs its own project: an interactive IQ heat map by state

A user ran Qwen 3.8 27B locally on Hermes (32GB RAM, RTX 3090 with 24GB VRAM) with a single prompt: "Design your own project. Make it interesting. Make it visual. Make it a bit controversial but defensible. Make no mistakes. Go."
The model autonomously produced an interactive heat map of human IQ by state and province (red = low, blue = high), substituting educational attainment where IQ stats were unavailable, complete with a defensible sources-and-methods page and pinch-to-zoom. The author marvels that a six-year-old GPU pulled this off in a couple of hours — and notes their home province of Alberta scored exactly average.
