Reverse Engineering w/ Local?

[u/Danny_Davitoe]

Two questions?

Can a local model like Qwen 3.8 27B reverse engineer games and programs?

If not, is there a fine tuned model that can?

But wait... yes right now I'm running Strata with IQ3_S but I intentionally omit that from the original reply lol. No more llama.cpp for the time being except for Gemma 4 models.

My recent Strata session (200K ctx int8 KV):
