Just curious if anyone here has tested out Qwen 3.5 4b with home assistant. Qwen 2.5 7b has been my go to for a long time and Qwen 3 was so disappointing that reverted back. Really curious to see how I can leverage its multimodal functionality plus its smaller/faster. Can I assume its better at using the Home assistant tool set? For reference I'm running the model on a GTX 3060 12GB Curious to hear back from anyone, keeping my fingers crossed that its going to be a big upgrade. Just starting the. I will over.
