Every rung of my Qwen3.6 TTQ ladder sits below the base repo's best file at its size, 1.26× to 3.51× lower KLD.
3.93 bpw: GPQA 84.8 (official 86.0), MMLU-Redux 92.6 (93.3). Both within noise.

don't wait to buy more RAM and VRAM , it's only gonna get more expensive in the next few months. get anything with an attractive price on the current used market , old server/workstation ddr4 , nvidia/radeon/intel gpus , don't hesitate
Seven more packs are up
BFCL v3, API-Bank, ARC-Challenge, ARC-Easy, TruthfulQA-817, AIME-2026 and HMMT-Feb-2026.

Install by URL, no Docker, run on your own model:

Been using @BenchLocalAI by @stevibe, it's a great tool.
Only issue: no 3rd party packs for deeper reasoning or coding benchmarks.
So I'm porting well-known ones myself, starting with the ones that need no extra setup or verifiers.
Will post when done
MiniCPM5-2B is impressive for it's size , in my tests it outperforms every 9b-12b models i have tested.
it's not good at coding but no small model is.
where it shines is how good at tool calling and maths it is for it's size , it fits on any hardware and it is fast
TLDR , my personal case by case recs :
Claude code for vibecoding , turning ideas into code , unstructured work
Opencode for more structured work , less assisted , better for more advanced vibecoders and actual SWE
⬇️
Pi , for small local models , working without internet , very barebone so you need to actually know what you are doing , not recommended for vibecoding
Will give Hermes a 2nd chance later because it seems promising
But results are interesting, nothing changes for small models , still runs on your fastest gpu.
and for bigger models you can actually benefit from the extra vram :
- Qwen 3.6 35B A3B Q4 K M - 5 tok/s ➡️ 25 tok/s without touching --n-cpu-moe
-Qwen 3.6 27B - 3 tok/s ➡️ 17 tok/s
MoE broke the old "bigger = slower" assumption.
A 35B MoE with 3B active params isn't as smart as a dense model of similar size , but it's much faster while still being smarter than the smaller dense models.
