How do you folks code at 40-50 tps? With an extremely lightweight harness (pi) and just 8k system and tools context, and ~40tps on qwen 3.8 27B 4-bit on low thinking mode, it still takes me nearly 30-45 mins for a basic coding session...
Does it work? yeah... But I'd pick a subscription anyday...
- hgoel 22d agoDo you find subscriptions to be meaningfully faster? I didn't really feel too much of a speed difference compared to Opus.
- latentsea 22d agoAs someone who uses Opus daily for professional work and Qwen3.8-27B for all my private stuff, yes, Opus sub is faster for me, but I'm only rocking an R9700. If you're lucky enough to have sold a kidney on the blackmarket and purchased a 5090 and you're running ninfer, then actually... I think you'd be seeing fairly comparable performance!
- julianlam 22d agoWhen you hear stories like "Opus 5 thought for 20 minutes and then denied my request" it really puts wind in this sails of Local LMs
- bicepjai 22d agoThere is a finite amount of time left for these companies to become next Facebook/Google, hoarding our interaction and privacy will be a point of contention pretty soon. At that moment, Qwen will be the knight in shining armor.
