alt Hacker NewsDidn't we get a submission today about Qwen3-Coder producing more bugs when hinted on the user having different ideology than the Chinese government?
Ok I see it's flagged now, probably fake, but the fact that it's possible does make me feel uneasy about both Chinese and US models.

I recall seeing something about that. I don't know of anyone still using such an ancient model when much newer Qwen 3.5-120, 3.6-35B-A3B, 3.8-27B and 3.8-flash-next all exist and score much higher on all conceivable metrics. I would like to see if anyone can replicate the same thing on a 'current' Qwen released in the past 6 months.

It was so insignificant, it could be equally described by the non-determinism inherent in the models. And that it reads more like a marketing piece.
That's my read anyhow. It's been flagged. The whole thing is kind of rich, considering the Israeli roots of the company.
