Coder-Next leaves the lineup

Qwen3-Coder-Next is no longer on the LLMs page. It was the most expensive model I ran — 159 GB of weights that needed either one very large Blackwell card or two 94 GB cards working together — and at $9.45 an hour for a single user it never did enough more than the 35B models to justify that price.

• Why it went. The coding work is covered. Ornith 1.5 35B is the agentic-coding workhorse, Qwen3.8 27B takes the harder reasoning, and Ornith 1.5 9B is the cheap pick for everyday code.
• What it cost. $9.45 an hour for a solo user — several times the 35B models, for the same kind of work.
• Already mid-task? Move the work to Ornith 1.5 35B — the closest replacement for coding agents.
