  "transcript": "I know I know, it's great, we know.   I've been working on tweaking inference engines for a week now and it's been one shotting most of my vague prompts without any issues.  It will even write tests and validate the changes without me asking.  It's actually nuts.\n\nLast time I did something with advanced math I was making a game using Sonnet.  It took many iterations to get physics to work correctly.\n\nSuch a good model.  I'm so glad I went all in on local months ago.  I was so tired of Claude making every excuse it could to try to force a new turn.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[11 upvotes] I use 18gb nvfp4 with 555k nvfp4 cache on 5090 , feels great , my test said its about 7% loss only\n\n[8 upvotes] yeah it is nice, shame that i cant use it with speed above 5tok/s since i dont have enough vram\n\n[7 upvotes] Lucky I found this one cause I was going to create my own redundant thread about how good it is. My experience with 27b has been improved out of sight by using an uncensored variant. Things that I didn’t expect to be problematic (create an account to x site to retrieve my y object) is being handled now. What I assumed was a technical limitation of 27b was infact a guardrail. This model shouldn’t be this good. It’s fantastic!  \n\n[6 upvotes] Yes! I’ve been testing it out on code review, not synthetic tests, but for actual work that I do daily.\n\nCompared multiple code reviews between qwen 3.8 27b vs opus5 vs sonnet5. It easily beats sonnet quite reliably (failed once, but it also beat opus once, so not an indicator).\n\nI’d say subjectively it feels like this (still collecting data) - if opus finds 10 problems, qwen finds 7, sonnet finds 5.\n\nAnd this is local q4km with mtp on 2xp100, with froggeric template, review takes approx the same time as sonnet.",
