Let's not forget Qwen 35B A3B MoE. It gets better performance than this in all the metrics for a fraction of the memory / compute footprint.

Sad to see all the non Chinese open source models being at least one generation behind.

Qwen3.6 27B is even more impressive IMO. Dense so it doesn't run as fast but it's so good.

im kinda torn on which to download. i have the headroom to run either, mostly just want the occasional "do a coding thing im too lazy to do"

Then go with Qwen3.6 35B A3B. It's way faster (up to 5x) and it is 80% as capable as the 27B. The 27B is for serious people looking for one shot coding. The 35B is for iterative and quicker coding. I am in the same situation as you (making something I don't want to do myself) and I use the 35B at Q5_K_M.
