Blind test reveals performance of self-hosted AI agents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user conducted a blind test comparing five self-hosted AI agents, all running on a Qwen 3.8 27B model. The agents were tasked with everyday functions like merging contact lists, renaming code, fixing bugs, counting log errors, and converting PDF receipts to spreadsheets. Four out of the five agents successfully completed most tasks, with one agent failing a bug fix and another failing to process a receipt PDF after being unable to get approval to install a necessary library.
