We should keep this for other popular models too.\n\n[5 upvotes] As Chat Template i use this at the moment, but i'm not sure, it makes any difference, the output from one test with a unsloth quant was identical:\n\n[https://huggingface.co/froggeric/Qwen-Fixed-Chat-Templates](https://huggingface.co/froggeric/Qwen-Fixed-Chat-Templates)\n\n[4 upvotes] My first comparison took a while, its a Qwen is a v.good model; but very slow because of it dense nature and long thinking time. \n\nhttps://reddit.com/link/p3raios/video/fy6f3b8esfjh1/player\n\nGrok 4.6 vs Opus 5 vs Gemini Flash 3.7 vs Qwen 3.8 27b. \n\nOpus 5 the only one that could actually write a Toon shader. \n\nFlash 3.7 goes for the fully fledged prompt. \n\nQwen 3.8 27b Really surprised me,  added animated birds.
