alt Hacker NewsI mean, I get pretty damn good general reasoning out of Qwen3.8-27B quantized to 4bits, and that knows Swift, Python, Node, Ruby, Rust, etc. etc. etc.
And so far even the biggest model doesn't seem to have a working Make No Mistakes module, so maybe that's not needed
Qwen3.6-27B (not 3.8) was a much better coder than Gemma4-31B, yet Gemma4-31B was a much better reasoner and general LLM to talk with.
Sure, 3.8 maybe it's better now, but an accurate comparison would be with a new Gemma4-31B iteration (that doesn't exist).
