It does devolve into gibberish at long context (~120k+ tokens by my estimation but I haven't properly measured), but this is still by far the best bang-for-buck value model I have used for coding.
It's a fine model
as kimi did a huge amount of claude distilation it seems to be somewhat based in data

I'm curious how the bang for buck ratio works in comparison. My initial tests for coding tasks have been positive and I can run it at home. Bigger models I assume are still better on harder tasks.
