There is no replacement for large models, indeed. And this is not the point I'm trying to make. There are numerous applications for self-hosted models. As a simplest example, when you ask "explain what this code does" advantage of large models is negligible. I tried Fable, "look at this repo, find all bugs" — yeah, neither Qwen nor Opus can do this. > I can almost guarantee your approach will break down once you get a project large enough or switch to a less popular language. I can guarantee you it is not, I used my Qwen on 10-15 years of PHP — I just know how and where it will break; what to ask for, what not. Orqestra was/is self-hosted, being developed by, well, orchestra of Qwen agents. Moreover, Opus and GPT-5.5 break similarly, yeah they will withstand much more pressure, but they will hallucinate and loop nevertheless. My Qwen experience translates seamlessly.
I learned so much about agentic engineering, harnesses, tooling, building custom MCPs... |
