I put Qwen 3.6 27B, Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B, Qwythos-9B, GLM-4.7-Flash, and Nemotron-3-Nano through the same real coding task on my homelab RTX 5090. Along the way I had to live-patch two separate llama.cpp bugs — and even after fixing them, I couldn't fully prove one model's failure wasn't the harness's fault.
