Brief
Julien Chaumond reports running Qwen3.6 27B inside a Pi coding agent via Llama.cpp on a MacBook Pro, performing non‑trivial Hugging Face codebase tasks entirely offline. He asserts this local configuration nearly matches the closed‑source Opus in Claude Code and calls it a "second revolution," promising efficiency, security, privacy and sovereignty that few have yet noticed.
Why it matters
Julien Chaumond (remilouf) posted on 2026-05-01 that Qwen3.6 27B is running inside a Pi coding agent via Llama.cpp on a MacBook Pro, completing non‑trivial tasks on Hugging Face codebases while in airplane mode (offline).
Key details
- He claims this local setup is "very, very close" to the latest Opus in Claude Code (closed‑source APIs) for code tasks, framing it as the start of a "second revolution of AI" focused on powerful local models.
- Chaumond argues most people haven't noticed this shift; those who have gain a "huge headstart" toward benefits including efficiency, security, privacy, and sovereignty.
