35B MoE is certainly a good and fast local model. I find 27B dense to be quite a bit smarter, so I daily drive that. I wish there was a ~100B MoE with maybe 10B active. It would be super smart and fast!
A 35 A3B as smart as previous gen 27B would be a sweet point

Isn't that just the definition of MoE vs dense ?
I use 27B in plan mode and 35B MoE in act mode. I noticed that is the best balance for me for consistent tool calls and intelligent planning. Takes some time to switch, but it's worth it for me.
I've heard 27B is smarter! I tried it some time ago but couldn't get it working with my oMLX. I need to try it again.
There was a 3.5 122B 10A release -
