Release of Qwen 3.8-27B
The new model Qwen 3.8-27B has finally been released, and it is already being compared to Opus 4.6 Max. The test results show significant improvements:
- Terminal coding: 63.4 → 73.0
- SWE-bench Pro: 53.5 → 61.7
- DeepSWE: 13.3 → 42.2
- Software engineering: 49.3 → 79.0
All these tests are run on a single RTX 3090, which is a gaming graphics card from 2020.
The model supports native image processing, a context of 262 thousand tokens, and is licensed under Apache 2.0. GGUF versions appeared simultaneously with the model weights.
