- Alex Ellis: 'Local Qwen Isn't a Worse Opus — It's a Different Tool'
Alex Ellis argues local Qwen models are not stripped-down Opus stand-ins but a different tool, useful for bounded private work like telemetry analysis and code review, even after he spent $12,000 on an RTX 6000 Pro and saw the model still loop and hallucinate on open-ended tasks.
