I love Qwen3-30B-A3B for translation and fixing up transcripts generated by automatic speech recognition models. It's not the most stylish translator (a bit literal), but it's generally better than the automatic translation features built into most apps, and it's much faster since there's no network latency.
It has also been helpful (when run locally, of course) for addressing questions-- good faith questions, not censorship tests to which I already know the answers-- about Chinese history and culture that the DeepSeek app's censorship is a little too conservative for. This is a really fun use case actually, asking models from different parts of the world to summarize and describe historical events and comparing the quality of their answers, their biases, etc. Qwen3-30B-A3B is fast enough that this can be as fun as playing with the big, commercial, online models, even if its answers are not equally detailed or accurate.
yep, when you hire an immigrate software engineer, you don't ask them if Israel has a right to exist, or whether Vladivostok is part of china. Unless you are a DoD vendor which there won't be an interview anyway.
