> 3.8-27B announced for Friday
Maybe I’m misreading this or some other post, I thought QWEN was stepping away from releasing these models for local consumption
They reversed course and now are saying they'll be releasing their Max style models in open weights.
3.8-27B is confirmed for Friday. They didn't release their whole 4B-400B range of models since 3.5. And 3.6 only got 27B and 35B MoE. So yeah, slowing down, but not completely out of the small model game.
