Update: Tried using Qwen Desktop. It told me it succeeded, and linked me to the folder it created it in.

That folder didn't exist, I asked Qwen where the files were, and it attempted to create them again.

Stopped it, and asked what happened to the original files. Qwen Desktop apparently doesn't have access to the local file system, but continued merrily along without warning about that.

Also tried Qwen Code. Tried it with a coding plan and it 401'd. Tried it with an api key I loaded up with pay-as-you-go credits and it 401'd.

It did a self update and it worked for a single request (me just saying hi). Pasted in the prompt to build the page and it 401'd.

Wow the Opus version is a lot more functional (try clicking some links).

I'm quite surprised at the difference.

So Opus introduced a container with overflow:scroll in the middle of the page, while Qwen didn't? That's interesting in terms of "smartness".

I've had nothing but trouble with Qwen on opencode. GLM too. I know a few people who use them on Ollama could without issue though, so I don't think it's a model issue.

Both horrific (from a user's perspective, perhaps not the underlying code).

I've noticed another type of AI slop that's prevalent in all the popular models; font sizes and variations like you wouldn't believe. It's very hard to instruct LLM's not to do this.

I thought it was pretty cool, its the kind of stuff that I wish there was more of on the internet. I guess some people's imagination runs a little more than others.
