Local coding models have reached a threshold for real work

Local model on coding has reached a certain threshold to be feasible for real work

Antigma tested 27B–32B open-weight models; Qwen 3.6-27B scored 38.2% on Terminal-Bench 2.0. The run used 89 tasks and the default per-task timeout, while verified SOTA is about 80%. The key claim is deployment lag: offline coding is about 6–8 months behind hosted frontier models.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the post gives a real-work threshold claim, a 38.2%/89-task Terminal-Bench result, and a 6–8 month offline gap. Reddit single-post sourcing keeps it in the low featured band.
