ModelsQwen 3.5 Coder vs DeepSeek V4 Pro: Specialist or Generalist
A code-tuned model against a large general MoE. What each design buys you, where the published numbers stop helping, and how to decide on your own repo.
ReadNotes on models, agents, and what inference costs
Practical writing for developers building with large language models — how they work, how to pick one, and how to keep the bill predictable.

ModelsQwen 3.6 27B vs Max: Shipped Model or Preview Tier
One is a dense 27B you can run on a single GPU today. The other is a preview whose numbers can move. How to pick a tier inside one model family.
ReadModelsQwen 3.6 Guide: The Frontier Model That Fits on One GPU
Qwen 3.6 27B is dense, not mixture-of-experts, and runs on a single GPU while scoring 77.2 percent. Why that combination matters more than its position on a leaderboard.
ReadModelsQwen 3.6 Max: How to Plan Around a Preview Model
Max is still a preview tier, which means its specs, weights and price can all move. A procedure for evaluating and depending on a model that has not settled.

FundamentalsRepetition Penalties: Why They Break Code Generation
Frequency and presence penalties suppress loops by punishing tokens the model already used. On code that punishes syntax, and the loop was rarely the real bug.
