why are we pretending these are equivalents?

yes, single gpu open models exist. Now show me the one that can keep up with a SOTA api model on more than short code block evals.

Qwen 3.6 supports reasonable agentic programming. People are vibe coding with it. It's really not that far off. If you truly cannot make a model that was SOTA 6-12 months ago work for you today for free I don't want to know what your needs are.
