Qwen 3.8 27b is a amazing model, for the first time I see a local model found its own away to open a browser and test

I was testing this quantization IQ3_XXS from GSQ-RCO with PI. It is a heavy quantization case, the model is in IQ3_XXS and KV cache in (Q4_0, Q4_0). I asked it to make the flight simulator, using that popular prompt.

Key Details

For my surprise, when I went verify the session I saw some screenshots, but I don't have mcp or tools in the PI, it's an almost clean installation, only with some personal skills that dont have any mentions to browser testing.

Investigating the session I have noted that it found its way to open a browser for test by itself.

My daily harness is opencode, and for not spending the 7k tokens with the chrome mcp in each session, I let the mcp disabled and I only enable it if the session needs.

But this experience make think that I probably only need line in the agents md saying that he can use the headless browser with CDP when it needs.
