Enjoyable write-up, but why is Qwen 3 conspicuously absent? It was a really strong release, especially the fine-grained MoE which is unlike anything that’s come before (in terms of capability and speed on consumer hardware).
Omitting Qwen 3 is my great regret about this talk. Honestly I only realized I had missed it after I had delivered the talk!
It's one of my favorite local models right now, I'm not sure how I missed it when I was reviewing my highlights of the last six months.
Cut for time - qwen3 was pelican tested too https://simonwillison.net/2025/Apr/29/qwen-3/
