Having used these extensively, I can say with confidence that they feel exactly as dumb as they are.

Do you mind sharing what models you used and what your experience was? In my opinion the Qwen 3.6 models or maybe the 3.5 were the first local models that were actually useful, but I don’t have that much experience.

Qwen is really good. For coding, it's the best local model I've found.
