This is the most underreported model when it comes to agentic coding and intelligence

I am running a reap version of the same and still step 3.5 flash does really excel even compared to qwen series and minimax reap for my agentic coding in rust. Hope this team continues its good work., best of luck!!
Minimax (non-reaped) seems better to me, even at IQ2. M2.7 will wipe the floor with Step-3.5-Flash, so looking forward to Step-3.6-Flash.
Otherwise, absolutely; probably still better than Qwen3.5 122B, for example. Though a large part of the problem was that inference engines like llama.cpp and vllm couldn't run them for a long time, I think. Arguably that's the same issue: they were underappreciated.
