Glimmer works really well as an "explore" agent model (like in Opencode.) It seems to be extremely efficient at searching and collating that info, and executing commands.
From my testing so far, Qwen 3.8 is better at code but it tends to meander and take forever if it has to look in a lot of places. Glimmer will use like ~1k tokens to formulate a plan and Qwen 3.8 will routinely go over 10k
Have you tried turning down the new Qwen's reasoning effort level from xhigh, which it defaults at?
LM Studio isn't exposing a dropdown for this, at least with the unsloth build.
Unsloth Studio / Desktop does.
These templates actually fix the effort selection for LM Studio/3.8

Oh, that's cool, I saw those and I did wonder! Thank you.
