Another day in the mighty series of days that is a week. Today we will be comparing deepseek-r1:70b with qwen3-coder:30b. One might initially find this matchup unfair. After all, deepseek is a reasoning model and has more than 2x the parameters. But I have a feeling qwen3-coder:30b will surprise. Deepseek-R1:70b I put the prompts in, […]

Today, let’s compare two more models together. And, let’s implicitly compare them against Llama3.3:70b, which we reviewed in part 1. GPT-OSS:20b First? Let’s look at a newer model, GPT-OSS:20b. Again, I ran the exact same prompt on the model, in a new chat (so no previous context). When I entered the prompt it started “thinking” […]

I downloaded a bunch of models and gave them all the same prompt; a somewhat detailed description of a PHP text file processing script, which would do a certain task for me and then check […]
