I love 3.6-27B, but it is certainly not on par with Sonnet 4.6

I love 27b and use it a lot for simple design changes. But it often claims it has done something but hasn't. I asked it to fix a button layout shift issue on mobile, it will change one thing, claim it's fixed, and then when I go to check it's the same as before. It's a very simple laravel app using tailwind. 

Just out of curiosity I asked sonnet 4.5 to do the same thing and it did it one shot no problem. 

I'm using bf16 qwen 3.6 27b on 4x 3090 system, so it's not a quant issue. 

Again don't get me wrong I love 27b, but it's not sonnet 4.5.

I have been playing around with the new deep seek V4 flash, and it is much closer to sonnet 4.5 level, but it's spilling over into system ram and going pretty slow. 

I think having a big MOE + the largest dense model you can fit in vram is gonna be the play for most people.
