TielCoder's 22 GB 4-bit quant matches Opus4.6 medium on recent real life coding issues, surpassing KAT-Coder and Nail as strongest and fastest MoE picks.

Qwen3.8-27B is amazing, but it’s slow. A stronger 35B-A3B Mixture of Experts-coder that can run and solve real codebase issues fast (even on constrained hardware) is a valuable addition to the arsenal. This one is the strongest and most consistent 35B-A3B I’ve benchmarked, on both correctness and speed, in addition to being the fastest to fix out of all the 35B-A3B models when you throw them at real codebases. On top of Ornith-1.5’s fine tune, TielCoder uses a code-weighted imatrix for dynamic quantization, and a chat template optimized for token-efficient and correct agentic coding.
