Qwen 3.6 27b has been the sweet spot for me in terms of local models. I've had good luck using it with Pi harness. Looking forward to this.

I also "evolved" into 27b (q8 unsloth) and pi.dev (tried many combinations) feels for me the same as opus 4.5 that i use at work, faster even (using 2x 3080 20GB gives me 60-80tk/s). Though you do need to feed it more details up front (about what exactly you are planning to do and a good written skill.md) but I work that way anyways, im hyped for 3.8
