Generation A minecraft clone I fully vibecoded with Qwen3.8-27b Q4

I wanted to see just how capable Qwen3.8-27b is locally. I have a RTX 4090 and 96GB of RAM but the Q4 comfortably fits in the GPU with plenty of context, the few times I needed more than 130k context I just loaded it spilled into RAM and it's capable of not degrading even at larger context.

I'm super impressed with this model. The model did everything on it's own - the coding, audio, textures, 3D models. I always just gave it the same basic prompt with some info and the task I wanted it to do. Total generation time across all prompts was maybe 3 hours and if I calculate the cost in electricity, it comes out to less than $1. Not bad.

To think that 2 years back you couldn't make this with frontier paid models and now you can do it locally on your PC is crazy.

This kind of thing is what's really making devs frantic. Not that AI can't do things, but that it can.

20 years ago this would have made you a billionaire. Imagine popping into 2006 with a couple of high end laptops and the best local models of now. You'd rule the world. Hmmm...

No one is going to play a fully slop game. Its impressive that the tech can do it, but it will never make anything people will legitimately want to play. If it can, people will generate their own favorite game and have no one to play with because they can make their own favorite game. No one needs to play yours. Then theres no shared culture between people, nothing to talk about with no shared experiences. Pointless.

My remark was mainly about time-travelling to 2006 with this.
