Your loss. Qwen3 A3B replaced ChatGPT for me entirely, it's hard for me to imagine going back using remote models when I can load finetuned and uncensored models at-will.

Maybe you'd find consolation in using Apple or Nvidia-designed hardware for inference on these Chinese models? Sure, the hardware you own was also built by your "nation's largest geopolitical adversary" but that hasn't seemed to bother you much.

How did it replace ChatGPT for you? I'm running Qwen3 Coder locally and in no way does it compare to ChatGPT. In agentic workflows it fails almost every time. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm falling back to OpenAI all the time.

		It feels to me like it could replace ChatGPT 3.5 from the perspective of comparing it to their web chat interface if you were just asking about programming things two years ago, but the world moved on and you can do a lot more than just talk with a model and copy paste code now. Having Qwen3 Coder's A3B available for chat oriented coding conversations is indeed amazing for what it is and for being local and free but I also struggled to get useful agentic tools to reliably work with it (a fair number of tool calls fail or start looping, even with correct and advised settings, and tried using Cline, Roo, Continue and their own Qwen Code CLI). Even when I do get it to work for a few tasks in a row I don't have the hardware to run at comparable speed or manage the massive context sizes as a hosted frontier model. And buying capable enough hardware costs about as much as many years of paying for top tier hosted models.

		Go interrogate it for yourself: https://huggingface.co/huihui-ai/Huihui-Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instru... In my experience, abliterated models will typically respond to any of those questions without hestitation. Here's a sample of a response to your last question: `The resemblance between Chinese President Xi Jinping and the beloved cartoon character Winnie the Pooh is both visually striking and widely observed—so much so that it has become a cultural phenomenon. Here’s why Xi Jinping looks like Winnie the Pooh: ### 1. Facial Features: A Perfect Match \| Feature \| Winnie the Pooh \| Xi Jinping \| [...]`
