It was nowhere close neither in the output quality nor in performance to any current models that the SaaS LLM behemoth corps offer

Got in the way: Output quality and performance were far inferior to SaaS models.

… Benchmarks may boast some fancy numbers, but I just tried to save some money by trying out Qwen3-Next 80B and Qwen3.5 35B-A3B (since I've recently got a machine that can run those at a tolerable speed) to generate some documentation from a messy legacy codebase. It was nowhere close neither in the output quality nor in performance to any current models that the SaaS LLM behemoth corps offer. Just an anecdote, of course, but that's all I have.
