People saying "it's worse than Qwen3.6 35B" don't understand that support comes from the bottom. If we don't support the local AI ecosystem, no matter the stage, no matter the location, we're always going to fall prey to "yeah but America/China does it better". Those who tried to build something the day GPT tool calling came out (π) know very well the pain of getting malformed tool calls and the model going haywire with the most trivial requests. That was just 3 years ago. Today you can run an even better model on a laptop.
I'm a huge fan of frontier labs, they are the pioneers of what we have today and I'll forever be grateful, but local AI is one of the most important (and frankly exciting) challenges of this decade. We're all in it together. Supporting each other is the least we can do. So congrats on the release! πͺπΊ
