   Blind test compares five self-hosted AI agents on Qwen 3.8 27B

   Reddit user /u/GapNew4766 reported a scripted blind test of OpenCode, goose, Atomic Agent, Hermes and OpenClaw, all running locally on an M5 Max MacBook Pro with 64GB of memory. Each used an uncensored Qwen 3.8 27B model in llama.cpp and completed the same five tasks, including merging contact lists, renaming a function across three files, fixing a bug, counting log errors and converting a receipt PDF into a spreadsheet. All five passed three tasks, while four passed the bug-fix and receipt-conversion tasks; the agent-to-label mapping remained hidden at publication.
