Curious why they're using 3.6-27B and not 3.8-27B which is competitive with Opus 4.6 (https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B)

From the article:

The company also said that it chose Qwen3.6 over the newer Qwen3.8 (released earlier this month) because the latter runs slower on "today's Macs" since it needs reasoning enabled.

		But that's incorrect, reasoning can be disabled via the template.

		I haven’t found that to be true with LM Studio and Qwen3.8. Works fine without reasoning. They’re also targeting 64GB M5 Pro and up as “today’s Macs” which perform fine with reasoning enabled.
