Replaced Claude with local Qwen3.6-27B in my multi-agent orchestrator for 2 weeks

The author ran Qwen3.6-27B on one RTX 3090 across 47 multi-step coding workflows. Plan generation reached about 95% schema validity, but tool-call formatting errors were about 12%, and practical long-context use degraded past about 12k tokens.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: a named first-person local-vs-Claude experiment with concrete numbers. The single Reddit source and 47-workflow scope keep it below the 78–84 band.

This reads like the split point for local coding agents: planning is usable, interface reliability is still the tax. The body is blocked by Reddit 403, so the usable evidence is the title and summary: one RTX 3090, Qwen3.6-27B, 47 coding workflows, about 95% plan-schema validity, about 12% tool-call formatting errors, and long-context degradation past roughly 12k tokens.

I don’t buy the “replaced Claude” framing yet. Claude is expensive in multi-step coding loops, but its value often sits in boring failure reduction: cleaner tool calls, fewer retries, and better context endurance. Qwen3.6-27B getting plans right says local orchestration costs are collapsing. A 12% tool-call format error rate says you pay back part of that saving with parsers, validators, retries, and dead-loop handling.
