qwq:32b vs deepseek-r1:32b

Both models answered the same one-shot tasks under identical rules — no retries, answers published unedited. Two separate axes, never blended: does the code actually run, and how do blind-scored text answers hold up against a written gold answer.

qwq:32b	8% (8/95)	8.70 (30 scored)	ERR 4 · STAT 43 · BLANK 23 · DNF 17
