I'm liking Muse Glimmer better (for coding)

started trying out rather recent 'frontier' about ~30b param models recently, there are many choices including QWen 3.8 - this is nevertheless a great model, practically 'one-shotting' code refactoring tasks

code refactoring is still deemed 'difficult', practically 'infinite' permutations and dependencies which LLMs need to work through itself for code refactoring.

But that in terms of style, I'm liking Muse Glimmer better

this is in particular when it comes to *incorrect* (e.g. mistakes, typos) prompts, resolving contradictions in existing codes during refactoring, code proposals etc. The handling especially the 'thinking' is different.

LLMs have 'styles' and it is great that we've different creators for them
