Quick tests suggest it’s pretty good at reasoning and tool use (keen to search to check its thinking) and it seems to waste much less time thinking, too.

So it feels very fast.

But it does not seem to be better than Qwen 3.6 35B at coding. A bit worse, I think, though I will test it more.

If you have a machine that can fit a 35B model in VRAM, I would suggest testing Muse Glimmer with (from memory)

  Reasoning strength: low

Despite being a dense model, this is actually capable of solving code problems faster than the Qwen MoE, despite having only one fifth of the raw token performance.
