alt Hacker NewsThere is a finetune Qwen3.6-27B-Fable-Fus-711-UnHeretic-NM-DAU-NEO-MAX-NEO which seems to be as good at coding as vanilla Qwen, but way, way better at creative writing than Qwen and even better than Gemma 4 26 and 31b.

Yeah, this became my main coding model.
It seems to know tooling and coding.
I saw that one in the "Popular models" sort at Hugging Face and tried it on some tasks I do frequently to compare models, and it feels damaged by the fine-tune, to me. It wrote security bugs into the code (probably just sloppy thinking, not intentional), it exhibited looping behavior in some configurations in llama.cpp, configurations I regularly use with the regular 27B, and it failed to write unit tests without being prompted (though the regular Qwen 27B tends to do so if it sees there are unit tests for everything in the repo). They have good benchmarks, but I'm not going to trust it. Also, that name is absolutely crazy.
