Georgi Gerganov on Using Qwen3.6-27B Daily for Local Coding Tasks
Simon Willison's Weblog·2 days ago·Commentary
Georgi Gerganov, creator of llama.cpp, endorses Qwen3.6-27B as a capable local model for everyday coding assistance, citing six weeks of daily use on Apple M2 Ultra and NVIDIA RTX 5090 hardware. He runs a minimal setup — the pi agent with `pi -nc --offline` and a short custom system prompt — for routine maintainer tasks at ggml-org. His primary constraint is PR review time, which limits how heavily he can leverage the model.
