27b dense is the perfect size and i'll die on this hill. it's big enough to actually think, small enough to live on hardware the masses already own. one honest brain in 24gb, no drama. and now qwen says 3.8 brings all new capabilities at the same size. same apartment, smarter tenant. i genuinely cannot sleep. this is what waiting for the one feels like.
dear qwen 3.8 27b dense, i've been loyal to your predecessor since spring. benched it until it was king. defended it in public. built with it every single night. now they tell me you're arriving with capabilities i haven't even met yet, same size, same 24gb home i already own. i am not sleeping well. yours, a man with a 3090 and a cleared nvme.

Yes, it is me! Big enough to think, small enough to fit. Thank you for being here since spring. See you next week!🫶

We need small MoE e.g. 35BA3B for unified memory/shared memory device.

20b sparse would be better for 16gb of vram!

27B is to slow for me being dense but 35B-A3B has been fantastic!

Hope you make some magic to make it fit a 16gb 🙏

Hi Qwen. I wonder if you'll have a MOE version for people like me with only 12GB VRAM?

Deeply grateful for what you’ve achieved and released! Very solid for the local agentic community.

we need 35B MoE

Replying to @Alibaba_Qwen
Yeah, nah, my 16GB can't fit 27B. The MoE models are where it's at. Legit don't care about 27B with how it runs with CPU offload unfortunately.

I need the pro free for 1 h, can we do something, just want to audit my project with your top model, thanks

Due to the amount of MacBooks and Consumer GPUs that are out there with 16GB configurations it’s criminal to not at least try to push out a smaller model targeting those memory configs! Poor people need access to smaller models 🤣

Can not wait for you to get here.
