This FREE Local Model Just Beat Claude Opus - Qwen 3.6 27B
Qwen 3.6 27B is the new king of local AI. This free, open-source 27B dense model is officially beating Claude Opus in agentic coding, delivering flagship-level reasoning and multi-agent workflows directly to your local hardware. I will be running Qwen in Openclaw fully locally on a RTX 5090 and testing its capabilities.
🖥️ My Local AI Setup:
- Mac Mini running Openclaw
- RTX 5090 (32GB VRAM)
- LM Studio for local LLM hosting
