Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on my laptop drew me a better pelican than Claude Opus 4.7

For anyone who has been (inadvisably) taking my pelican riding a bicycle benchmark seriously as a robust way to test models, here are pelicans from this morning's two big model releases - Qwen3.6-35B-A3B from Alibaba and Claude Opus 4.7 from Anthropic. Here's the Qwen 3.6 pelican, generated using this 20.9GB Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_S.gguf quantized model by Unsloth, running on my MacBook Pro M5 via LM Studio (and the llm-lmstudio plugin) - transcript here: And here's one I got from Anthropic's…

Integrating Community Feedback into Foundation Strategy Part 1

Integrating Community Feedback into Foundation Strategy Part 1

Integrating Community Input Into Foundation Strategy Part 1: Feedback from the Community Oh my friends, we have so much to talk about. I’ve been with The PHP Foundation for a few weeks, and many people have asked me about my vision, goals, and strategy for the upcoming year. In my opinion, The PHP Foundation’s stated mission of ensuring the long-term prosperity of the PHP language can be interpreted many different ways. So what exactly does this mean in terms of actionable efforts that will…

datasette 1.0a27

datasette 1.0a27

Release: datasette 1.0a27 Two major changes in this new Datasette alpha. I covered the first of those in detail yesterday - Datasette no longer uses Django-style CSRF form tokens, instead using modern browser headers as described by Filippo Valsorda. The second big change is that Datasette now fires a new RenameTableEvent any time a table is renamed during a SQLite transaction. This is useful because some plugins (like datasette-comments) attach additional data to table records by name, so a…
