I believe it. It's extremely good at troubleshooting. I gave Qwen and Kimi K3 the same annoying, complicated, intermittent bug to track down. Kimi did a bit better in understanding the existing code, but Qwen built some diagnostic tools and did an excellent statistical analysis on the log data. Qwen got way closer to the truth.
I'm very much looking forward to their forthcoming smaller model Qwen 3.8 releases. A version that can easily run locally would be great.

  Did you also try Opus 5 and 5.6 Sol?

    5.6 sol was very impressive for me. I had a weird behavior while using Qt and I gave it a screenshot and my expectation of what should happen and it read the Qt sourcode and showed me that my issue was a bug (including link to the ticket).
