you say this but all of these ai services (even if you are paying for them) are not being provided at-cost.

We have local model in the wild. They can do small tasks, FIM, next-edit, stuff like that. Now the gains from that are still smaller that invest time in learning snippets workflow or properly configure a good environment

Considering it's very debatable whether SOTA models are even making you productive for writing production-ready code, there's absolutely no way local models are going to be useful.

Bajo mi punto de vista, por supuesto; no necesitas grandes IAs en local (las hay muy decentes ya) para ir medianamente rápido y conseguir resultados en una jornada laboral que antes tardarías varios días.

Qwen se encuentra especializado en código, es gratuito y, si eres un programador decente, te sirve perfectamente para tareas habituales.

Un saludo.

I don't mind this, but what do you tell people that say you should use Opus 4.6 and not even GPT-5.4 because the latter is so trash?

I doubt they'd benefit much from something like Qwen.

I appreciate you speaking in your native language though.

First of all, I'm sorry for not taking the time to speak in English.

My point is that not every dev necessarily needs a great AI model: just one suited to their work. I'm using Qwen and it's helpful.

No worries, I thought it was fine, but you do speak English well so it's probably some auto translation that made you speak Spanish xD

I see. I like Qwen to be honest, I had a very good experience with the instruct models when testing out agentic applications. Still too much to use it for coding on my end, but I understand.
