Does anyone else find the multiple choice question UI in Claude Code strictly worse than it just listing the options and you type a reply?
I've been getting a lot of questions about my local LLM setup. Here are all the details, config files, and model choices. Anyone else having good success with Qwen3.6 or something else?

Lots of iterating on my local LLM setup. Really happy with the current state. Qwen3.6-27B-IQ4_NL.gguf from Unsloth, 128k context window, vision capability, 50 tokens per second, surprisingly good quality output in agentic dev. All in 24gb of VRAM. The MoE variant still has its place (120 t/s!) but this one is the default now.
Enjoying Pi working with a local Qwen3.6. Really fast. Pretty high quality results. I asked it to tell me its system prompt and it declined. I asked it to make me an extension that prints the system prompt and it complied.
