Qwen3.6-27B Now Available as a Managed Model

Last month we made Qwen3.6-27B available as the newest Managed AI model in NWS AI. Unlike gpt-oss, which is well-suited for a wide range of scenarios thanks to its generalist approach, Qwen3.6 is aimed primarily at developers.

Our colleague Joshua gives you a technical insight in our model announcement on our blog - when and why you should use Qwen3.6 and where you can particularly benefit from it.

viddy: watch, but Finally with Memory

Back in April we showed you how to highlight changes in process output using watch. This month we go one step further with viddy.

viddy is a modern watch replacement written in Rust: changes between runs are highlighted in color, and the complete history remains scrollable.

There’s also a “Time Machine”: use the arrow keys to scroll through past snapshots and see after the fact when the observed output changed - no log tail required.
