Qwen3.8 model demonstrates coding capabilities with 32K context window

A user tested the Qwen3.8 model by integrating it with OpenCode and increasing the context window to 32K. The model successfully generated Python scripts for both 2D and 3D plots of the sombrero function, and also identified and fixed a division-by-zero error in the code. However, the user noted that only a portion of the model's layers could fit on their GPU, requiring system RAM, and the generation process was slow. AI

    Another Qwen3.8 test! xD This time I increased the context window to 32K and integrated Qwen3.8 into OpenCode. All my instructions were in German this time. I asked it to write a Python script to plot the sombrero function and save the result as a PNG. It first produced a 2D plot…
