Qwen Model Corrections: - Added Model Reference Guide to clarify Qwen3 vs Qwen 3.5 families - Qwen3: 0.6B, 1.7B, 4B, 8B, 14B, 32B + MoE (30B-A3B, 235B-A22B) - Qwen 3.5: 0.8B, 2B, 4B, 9B + MoE (27B, 122B-A10B, 397B-A17B) - Fixed 'Qwen3.5-35B-A3B' -> 'Qwen3-30B-A3B' (non-existent model corrected) - Note: Qwen 3.5 14B does NOT exist; references likely mean Qwen3-14B Terminal-Bench 2.0 Fixes: - Clarified that Terminal-Bench measures HARNESS+MODEL combinations - Updated rankings with current leaderboard data (April 2026): - #1: Pilot + Claude Opus 4.6: 82.9% - #2: ForgeCode + GPT-5.4: 81.8% - #3: ForgeCode + Claude Opus 4.6: 81.8% - Removed incorrect 'GPT-5.4 Rank #1' claims (scores vary by harness) - Added harness attribution to all Terminal-Bench references SWE-Bench Pro Updates (Verified): - #1: Claude Mythos Preview: 77.8% - #2: GLM-5.1: 58.4% (top open-source) - #3: GPT-5.4: 57.7% - Added source references to llm-stats.com Files Modified: - forgecode/feedback/localllm/qwen-3.5.md - forgecode/feedback/frontier/benchmark-controversy.md - hermes/feedback/localllm/qwen-models-feedback.md - opencode/opencode/feedback/SUMMARY.md - opencode/opencode/feedback/frontier/frontier-model-feedback.md - opencode/opencode/feedback/localllm/local-llm-feedback.md - pi/feedback/frontier/frontier-model-feedback.md

Model Reference Guide
| Model Family | Available Sizes | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Qwen 3.5 | 0.8B, 2B, 4B, 9B (dense); 27B, 122B-A10B, 397B-A17B (MoE) | Released Feb 2026 |

Known Issues
Multiple System Messages Bug
GitHub Issue: #2894 (Open as of April 8, 2026)
Problem: Multiple system messages break models with strict chat templates (e.g., Qwen3, Qwen 3.5)
Error Manifestation:
- Models with strict chat templates fail to parse message structure correctly
- Tool calling may fail or produce incorrect results
- Agent behavior becomes unpredictable
Impact:
- Affects local inference with llama.cpp, Ollama, and similar servers
- Qwen3 and Qwen 3.5 specifically mentioned as affected
Workaround Status: No official fix yet; issue under investigation
Tool Calling with Qwen Models
General Observations from Community
-
Qwen3-Coder Next shows promise as "first usable coding model < 60GB"
-
Tool calling reliability varies by inference backend:
- LM Studio 0.4.9 reportedly handles Qwen3.5 XML tool parsing more reliably than raw llama.cpp
- llama.cpp with
--jinjaflag helps with tool calling
-
finish_reason issue is annoying to debug according to community reports
Recommendations for Local Use
- Use LM Studio for more reliable tool parsing vs raw llama.cpp
- Monitor system message count - known issue with ForgeCode's multi-message approach
- Test thoroughly before relying on Qwen 3.5 for production tasks via ForgeCode
