Qwen 3.8 Flash Next model explores engineering principles over 18 hours

A user is experimenting with a self-hosted Qwen 3.8 Flash Next model, integrated with a "pi agent" and a "billion-context" session store. The project involves extensive reasoning over engineering principles, such as SOLID, TDD, and minimizing dependencies. After 18 hours, the model is demonstrating complex thought processes, weighing the trade-offs between writing code and adopting external tools, and considering the tension between minimizing dependencies and adhering to established engineering philosophies.

    Gave my self-hosted Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, running a pi agent, attached to the billion-context's session store and an LLm wiki, a very large project to chew on, a ton of context, some fundamental engineering principles, and let it rip. It's been 18 hours. I went to check its reason…
