Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to overthinking things

I prefer that to the under thinking that both Gemini and the newer Grok models do

On the other hand I am running this model to write some tests for my hobby project for two days now and it is able to deduce and fix errors and bugs that Qwen 3.6 was not able to. Yes, it thinks a lot but this makes reasoning about problem much better. Also it did not run it self into a loop once even which is a problem with Q4 even with dense models.

On the other hand it maybe do too much i.e. I asked "how we could test it?" and instead of answering it just actually wrote tests. But it was the same with Qwen 3.6.
