Even better at the local LLM stage, where QFN can catch a mistake in prior work and patch it without any subscription costs at all. then I can use a cloud model for polish and finish and move on.

I'm building stuff at home with my work focused on managing infra. If anyone wants to sponsor a SOTA model subscription I will check it out. Until then I'll see how flexible a Strix Halo setup and my homelab can be.

I also started with Qwen-3.8-27b and used for a while, I still use it so Claude can delegate tasks to it, but the SOTA models are still a lot better than local models, so much that I don't see much sense to use local models as long as I have a paid subscription.

Even if the difference is a single extra error caught early, that can end up saving me hours of work later.
