Qwen3.8 27B

Didn't think we'd have model launch pages so 'soon'; how long until we have something Steam-like and can preload our eagerly-awaited models?

Anyway, eager to try [on hardware I own]!

DeepSwe score is 42.2. For comparison 3.6-27b is 13.3, GLM 5.2 is 44, and Opus 4.8 is 59.

I miss a good 9B class model :',( The last one was 3.5.

27B is just a little bit too big for a 16GB GPU.

  • Yeah, same with the latest releases of meta and NVIDIA. It's like everybody is expected to have 32 GB of RAM

It feels so strange that we now have countdowns for model releases

  • Alibaba does this for their shopping biz all the time. Growth hack is very high priority in the company. Their homepage was a bunch of ridiculous SEO. The whole culture there seems very distasteful to me. This doesn’t mean this qwen model is bad today, but I’m a believer that culture will decide the product quality in the long run.
