# ⚠️ DEPRECATED — DO NOT USE THIS MODEL

**This model does not work for real coding tasks.** I benchmarked it in June 2026 and it failed essentially every test — one-shot *and* agentic. I'm leaving it up only as a documented cautionary example so nobody wastes a 42 GB download. Use a normal coder model instead (e.g. **Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct**).

## What this was

An MLX 4-bit conversion of `huihui-ai/Huihui-Qwen3-Coder-Next-Opus-4.6-Reasoning-Distilled-abliterated` — a Qwen3-Coder-Next 80B (A3B MoE) with **Claude Opus 4.6 reasoning distilled in**, then abliterated. On paper it sounds great: "a coder that reasons like Opus." In practice it cannot stop reasoning long enough to actually finish anything.

## The benchmark — it lost everything

Head-to-head against the plain **Qwen3-Coder-30B** on the same machine (Apple Silicon, MLX), same prompts:

| Task | Qwen3-Coder-30B | This model (80B reasoning) |
|---|---|---|
| Asteroids game (one-shot HTML) | ✅ working game | ❌ wrote a planning monologue, never produced the game |
| Snake game | ✅ 14s | ✅ but 8× slower, ~7× the tokens for the same result |
| Calculator | ✅ clean, complete | ❌ bloated to 56 KB and hit the token cap unfinished |
| Analog clock | ✅ working | ❌ bloated to 56 KB and hit the token cap unfinished |
| Hard expression parser (18 hidden tests, no `eval()`) | ✅ **16/18** | ❌ **0/18** — produced *no code at all*, just an unclosed `<think>` block |
| Agentic task: write code, run it, fix until tests pass (with tools) | ✅ completed | ❌ called **zero tools**, wrote **zero files**, just said "DONE" |

## Why it fails

A reasoning model distilled onto a coder is the worst of both worlds: **it can't stop reasoning to converge.** On one-shot tasks it over-generates and exhausts its token budget before finishing the answer. In *agentic* mode — its supposedly superior use case ("tool calling + bug detection") — it won't even pick up a tool; it narrates what it would do and declares itself done. The smaller, plain 30B coder beat it on speed, on completion, and even on the hard reasoning task.

## Use instead

Any standard coder, e.g. `Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct`.
