  "transcript": "Qwen 3.8 27B is great, however it takes me ages to do tasks on xhigh. I need Qwen 3.8 35B A3B. It'll be a little dumber but faster. I am also aware of the fact that 27B gets its \"intelligence\" from the long thinking time. I therefore assume that 35B would also be a long-thinking model, however running Qwen 3.8 27B over night on my M1 Max for just one task is impractical and no fun.\n\nI love the progress and the work of alibaba with 27B but... yeah I sadly don't own a faster RTX. What are you guys wishing or hoping for? Where do you see the future going? - Longer thinking times for higher intelligence?\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[49 upvotes] I'm with you. I get 120 tokens/s with the old 35B-A3B vs 20 tokens/s with the 27B model. Even if the 35B version has to do a task twice to correct itself that is still three times faster than the 27B model.\n\nFor working on anything interactive having that 120 t/s is so much better as I spend much less time waiting for it.\n\n[35 upvotes] I actually think something a bit bigger - like 40B/A5B or similar - might be a better size. A bit slower than the 35B A3B, but less of a chasm between it and the monstrous capabilities of the 27B.\n\n[18 upvotes] I was hoping for it, but now I have abandoned hope for a 3.8-35B. \n\nHowever, these two feel like a 3.6.1 to me:\n\nhttps://huggingface.co/Kwaipilot/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev\n\nhttps://huggingface.co/ornith-ai/Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B\n\n[16 upvotes] Ya realistically to use Qwen models on a consistent basis I need 35B A3B also. Otherwise there's no point and I'm better off with Deepseek.",
