𝗤𝘄𝗲𝗻 𝟯.𝟱, the latest series of AI models by Qwen are very interesting, expecially the Qwen3.5-Medium Series that can be used offline.
What about #AL coding offline?
Verdict: sometimes bad (low quantizations), sometimes acceptable (starting at least from 𝗤𝘄𝗲𝗻𝟯.𝟱-𝟯𝟱𝗕-𝗔𝟯𝗕 𝟴 𝗯𝗶𝘁).

𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗠𝗮𝘅-𝗠𝟮.𝟱, the new open model by MiniMax. Impressive in speed and it costs just $1 to run the model continuously for an hour at 100 tok/sec. At 50 tok/sec the cost drops to $0.30.
Fully comparable with Sonnet 4.5, but faster and 11x cheaper. Oh, very good in #AL coding too😉

For C# or Python coding, it's instead a very good offline model.
