Most YouTube benchmarks only show trivial tasks like generating landing pages or simple Three.js games. Is a local model like Qwen 3.8 27B actually capable of real-world systems programming—such as building GTK4 or Qt 6 applications in Rust or C++ with external libraries? Specifically, if I look up the exact terminology in the online docs and then prompt the AI to inspect the cloned repo, can it implement the feature cleanly? submitted by /u/MongoWithBongoss [link] [comments]
