I don't know why anyone would expect to trust a model smaller than about the size of qwen 3.6 27B (or 3.8 27B, or 3.6 35B-A3B) for coding. There just isn't enough baked-in knowledge of existing correct code syntax from having vacuumed up various open source projects.
That further extends to concepts like knowing if an API exists as a real thing it has code examples of in its training data set vs. just hallucinating the name of something in an attempt to satisfy the person issuing it a prompt.
