For developers using Qwen 27B for coding, Codex style: what's your honest take? So far, for me, it's been pretty solid. Not always amazing, but honestly neither is GPT-5.5 sometimes. Considering the model size, it's kind of wild how capable it actually is. That said, I'm still not sure whether I'd fully trust it enough to move away from the big players. I'm giving it a few days before I really decide where I stand, but I'd like to hear from other people using it for actual de work.
