Qwen3.6-35B-A3B powers local NetOps agents
A Reddit user says Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, run locally through llama.cpp and OpenCode, has been reliably SSHing into a Cisco switch and making changes. It reads like a practical field report on agentic tool use, not just another benchmark brag.
The interesting part here is stability, not spectacle: the model appears to hold up in a brittle, stateful ops workflow where tool-call failures usually show up fast.
- –Local deployment matters here; the reported setup uses a high-context llama-server config, which suggests this is being pushed as an actual working agent stack, not a toy demo
- –If the claim holds up across more than one environment, Qwen3.6 starts to look genuinely useful for network automation, runbook execution, and other constrained ops tasks
- –The switch-control angle is high-risk by nature, so the real bar is narrow scopes, strong backups, and human review around every destructive action
- –This is still one anecdote, not proof of broad reliability, but it is the kind of anecdote practitioners care about because it maps to real operational pain
