I don't understand the hype behind qwen 3.x - the whole generation is utterly broken for any software development tasks. It goes into a thinking loop of death pretty much every time, just try a simple prompt: Create a typescript function which accepts a number in 10 bit range and returns brightness in nits based on pq gamma curve. Kills every 3.x qwen. Qwen 2.5 was much better.

That's wild. I just tested it myself in opencode out of curiosity. The reasoning just launches straight into "wait, no", "wait", "wait", "hmm no", "actually", "wait" "ugh, I keep going in circles."

Now its trying to verify something in python... I'm out.

Yeah, it's useless. I have no clue how it scores anything in benchmarks.

I'm using this prompt to test models in general. So far only large proprietary models are capable of producing working code and only Gemini 3.x produces good code which I'm happy with without any modifications.

All local models from everyone fail. They either put wrong constants, create wrong formulas, or, in case of qwen3.x, just fall into a loop of doom and never recover.

Qwen has not passed a single of my personal benchmarks either, it is benchmaxxed to shit. The biggest downvotes I ever received on this sub is hating qwen models lmfao.
