So I decided to copy one of the prompts (the identify the image in the network one that was a white circle)
My local ran qwen 3.8 27b with 4 bit quantization, and around 160k context window..... Seemed to solve this.
It output an ASCII white circle with a 75% confidence, as opposed to the model tested getting a higher confidence but drawing a circle with a filled in inside.
I'm not sure what I make of these results but does that make me less impressed with Astra? Or just that the prompt was quite good? I just can't tell personally at the moment (it was a quick experiment and I haven't thought much on it)
