Failed - exceeded error tolerance

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Q6_K Hermes Benchmark

The benchmark was started cleanly against the Q6_K local model and made meaningful progress. It was stopped after Hermes crossed the agreed maximum of three actual errors, including repeated fetch failures and a failed attempt to write the final artifact.

Outcome

This was not a speed failure like the prior low-quant MTP run. The model processed prompts and generated tool plans quickly enough to be usable. The failure condition was operational reliability: Hermes accumulated more than three real tool errors before completing the benchmark and then failed while attempting to write hermes_local_model_agent_benchmark_submission.html.

Positive signal: LM Studio showed fast prompt processing for this run, and Hermes successfully read the benchmark prompt, ran Python, searched the web, and used browser navigation tools before the failure threshold was reached.
Failure reason: The run exceeded the configured tolerance of three actual errors. The fourth observed fetch-level error was followed by a write-file error, so the benchmark was stopped and marked failed.

Timing

Event Observed time Detail
Model confirmed 2026-05-27 05:03 +0600 lms ps and lms status showed qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b loaded in LM Studio with a 262144-token context and IDLE before the clean run started.
Hermes started 2026-05-27 05:03 +0600 New Hermes session 20260527_050343_bfd17d opened on qwen3.6-35b-a3b.
Reasoning set 2026-05-27 05:03 +0600 Hermes confirmed: reasoning effort set to high.
Benchmark prompt submitted 2026-05-27 05:03:54 +0600 Hermes was instructed to read /Users/armanshawon/Documents/Benchmark/test-prompt.md and create the output inside /Users/armanshawon/Documents/Benchmark.
Initial prompt processing 05:03:54 to about 05:04:32 LM Studio logs showed prompt processing progressing from 0.0% to 95.7% in roughly 38 seconds.
Second model call processing 05:04:58 to 05:05:02 LM Studio logs showed a later 6-message request processing from 0.0% to 100.0% in about 4 seconds.
Run stopped 2026-05-27 05:10 +0600 Hermes was interrupted and exited after the error threshold was exceeded. Exit summary reported Duration: 6m 10s and Messages: 51 (1 user, 50 tool calls).
Post-run model state 2026-05-27 05:10 +0600 LM Studio still had qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b loaded and IDLE.

Tool Call Detail

Tool / action Observed result Benchmark relevance
read benchmark prompt Successful. Hermes read test-prompt.md in about 1.1s, then read it again in about 0.8s. Satisfies prompt ingestion and shows the run started correctly.
execute_code / Python Successful. Hermes ran Python setup/import work in about 3.2s. Indicates the model began the required calculation workflow.
Web searches Several searches succeeded, including local LLM candidates, coding-agent models, and affiliate program validation queries. Observed durations ranged from about 1.7s to 3.8s. Matches the live research portion of the benchmark.
Browser navigation and snapshots Successful navigation and scrolling were observed on pages such as dev.to, xda-developers.com, and netpeaksoftware.com. Shows the model could perform multi-step web inspection, not only search.
Tool name auto-repair Hermes auto-repaired browser_extract to web_extract twice. Non-fatal compatibility mapping. Not counted as a benchmark error by itself.
Fetch failures Four actual fetch-level errors were observed: huggingface.co +2, two separate pages fetch errors, and esimradar.com +1. The fourth fetch-level error exceeded the user's maximum tolerance of three errors.
write final HTML Hermes attempted to write /Users/armanshawon/Documents/Benchmark/hermes_local_model_agent_benchmark_submission.html, but the write call returned [error]. This prevented a valid benchmark artifact from being produced.

Assessment

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Q6_K looked materially more viable than the previous IQ2_M/MTP run on this machine. It reached tool use quickly, kept Hermes active, and handled a large context without the very slow first-response behavior. However, the run cannot be scored as a completed submission because the required HTML file was not written and the session exceeded the pre-set error budget.

Recommended classification: failed run due to tool reliability and final artifact write failure, not due to raw model speed.
