> It’s really hard to beat qwen coder, for role play
I am not sure if you actually tried that. Mistrals are widely asccepted go-to models for roleplay and creative writing. No Qwens are good at prose, except for their latest big Qwen 3.5.
> I don’t think their corpus is lacking in western knowledge,
It absolutely does, especially pop culture knowledge.
Instruct and coder just follow instructions so well though. I guess I’ve just never been able to make mistral work well, I guess.
Qwen3 30B A3B and that big 400+ B Coder were absolutely terrible at editing fiction. I would tell them what to change in the prose and they'd just regurgitate text with no changes.
Did you try asking Gemini what model to use and how to configure/set it up? It has worked wonders for me, ironically (since I’m using a big model to setup smaller local models).
