Fine-tuning Qwen3 at home to respond to any prompt with a dad joke
Slow S3 access latency is a well known fact, but how slow, exactly? We compared read latency across different storage systems in AWS and found out that water is wet, sky is blue, and S3 is slow.

In plain words
Fine-tuning Qwen3 at home is a tool that customizes the Qwen3 language model to generate dad jokes in response to any user prompt. Designed for people who enjoy humor and want to experiment with AI model customization, it runs locally on personal computers. The project stands out by combining practical fine-tuning techniques with lighthearted comedy, allowing users to create their own joke-generating AI without needing cloud services or special expertise.

Demo : http://shutty.ddnss.de/ — runs on my homelab, uptime not guaranteed. TLDR — good prompt: “why did chicken cross the road?”, bad prompt: “say a joke”. Modern LLMs are quite good at safety, but notoriously bad at humor — and yes, you’re absolutely right , these two things are definitely connected.

Qwen3.8-MaxAug 2026 · qwen.ai · ▲277Qwen3.8-Max + MCP for coding on your local machine, without paying for Qwen Code. Qwen3.8-Max itself runs in the cloud through Qwen Studio — this setup just gives it access to your local files and terminal through MCP. My take: it is slower than Codex and Claude Code, especially in thinking mode, but it does work well. MCP adds some latency too since there’s an extra layer between the model and your machine. In fast mode, it gets noticeably closer. I wouldn’t put it in the same category as Fable or Opus-5. Personally, I’d place it closer to the next Opus 4.7 level in terms of coding ability.…
