Yesterday I tried both as well. I do a quick "explain this repo" + "any security issues" convo to do a "vibe check" on the models and make sure everything works w/ serving and harness. Both qwen and glimmer explained it pretty well, and both accepted the security question without any issues, flagged a few things left there on purpose (hardcoded tokens, single auth, no logs, etc).
I like the style of glimmer more. Much terser language, no adjectives, no fluffy claude-like language. ("Images are written to...", "Tasks are stored in SQLite...", "Docker image is built from ...")
In contrast, qwen is a bit more flowery. ("Unbounded image processing / resource exhaustion — preprocess() opens whatever was downloaded with no size/dimension/format validation before the VAE encodes it..." , "SQLite as a queue — fine at this scale, but...", "Debug info leakage — exceptions are re-raised as...".
But both flagged pretty much the same stuff, just ordered / styled differently. Mighty impressive understanding for a thing that I can run locally. Qwen served in fp8 w/ full kv cache, glimmer in w4a16 (the fp8 weights wouldn't serve for whatever reason), both at full supported context in 48GB of VRAM.
