These models are part of the highly anticipated Qwen 3 release, and we explore their capabilities through local testing. We start by running the 0.6B model through a few quick tasks, including Python game generation and basic HTML script creation. Following that, we switch over to the 8B model and run a similar set of tests, checking for improvements in output quality and reasoning. This is a simple, hands-on overview of two promising models in the Qwen 3 lineup, with a focus on small-scale local inference performance and early practical observations from this release.
