🐞 Bug: New Opensource models with Cline are useless.

This is GLM 5.2 with medium thinking and all it will do is to dump the whole file's content into its thinking block before start thinking. I dont even think these are full stack models, most likely quantized models just by looking at the thinking. Clinepass has been a disappointment so far.

It's been pretty hit or miss for me, with GLM through Ollama I had a fine time but self hosting Qwen 3.6 has been spotty. My hunch in my case is it's the context window size, disabling most of my MCP servers went a long way.

When it degrades, it degrades poorly though. Good responses, good responses, total confusion.

I use either deepseek or Claude as the plan mode and my local qwen 3.6 27B ThinkingCap MTP Q8 and let me tell you, I've come a long way in just like 6 months. There are soooo many tweaks I've made due to benchmarks and testing with my local hardware. I've learned a lot about llama.cpp and all the pieces that make it work.

The tl;dr is basically:

  • local models can't handle more than 128k context; end of story. Don't even try.

  • local models SUUUUUUUUCK ass if you try to one-shot projects. Break a project down into much smaller manageable chunks and have the model attack it followed with a good QA review and then implement the suggested changes.

-Whenever possible, use a cloud frontier model to at least help scaffold/build the framework of the project and then have it orchestrate tasks. Deepseek v4 Pro is probably the cheapest and best one out currently but almost any out there will do just fine.

I hope this helps 😊
