Qwen3-30B-VL is going to be fucking hard to beat as a daily driver, it's so good for the base 80% of tasks I want an AI for, and holy fuck is it fast. 90tok/s on my machine, I pretty much keep it in vram permanently. I think this sort of work is important and I'm really glad it's being done, but in terms of something I want to use every day there's no way a dense model can compete unless it's smart as fuck. Even dumb models like Qwen3-30B get a lot of stuff right and not having to wait is amazing.
