New Qwen 3.6 27b Local + OpenCode Just Got DESTROYED?

Summary

The Quen 3.6 27B model is back on Openrouter, and while it's designed to be a powerful, locally runnable open-source option, recent tests show a significant decrease in performance. Compared to its initial release, the model now struggles with basic tasks, exhibits extreme slowness, and frequently stops working. This unexpected decline in functionality makes it currently unusable, leading the speaker to consider alternatives like the Gemma model for future testing.
