Qwen 3.6 draws tool-calling complaints
A Reddit user says Qwen 3.6 27B and 35B keep failing at file creation and even simple HTML edits inside Codex and OpenCode, especially when JSON and tool-call formatting get involved. The thread suggests the problem may be in the model-template-harness stack as much as in the model itself.
// ANALYSIS
This looks less like a pure “bad model” verdict and more like an agent integration failure mode: once tool calls, templates, and shell quoting get brittle, the whole workflow collapses.
- –Windows, PowerShell, and local-serving wrappers add extra chances for malformed JSON or quoting bugs to break the tool loop
- –Commenters in the broader discussion point to chat templates, `qwen3_coder` parsers, and `preserve_thinking` settings as the real pressure points
- –If a model can edit C++ more reliably than HTML/CSS, that hints the issue is often prompt/tool formatting and harness behavior, not raw coding ability
- –For coding agents, reliability beats benchmark chatter; a model that loops for minutes on file writes is a productivity hazard
- –The takeaway for local deployers is practical: test the exact serving stack, parser, and template before blaming the weights
