Usable local AI has been here for a while, esp on say a 5090.

You can’t treat Qwen3.6 like its fable, but if you prompt precisely and specifically it’s a great executor.

I actually found it refreshing to use more of my brain for once, and actually have to think deeper about what I’m trying to do, and how to build it.

What are your goalposts? Depending on your requirements, there have been many moments of usable local AI. More recent ones were gpt-oss 120b and Qwen 3.6 27b.
