Thank you for writing this; I have delayed 3.8:27b because my ollama needs to be updated (and I'm too lazy); but if I can save thousands of dollars not buying GPU hardware – for Top-10 performance – yes I will unlazy myself and update local ollama software.

That is actually insane. In my opinion, the future is local AI: for most daily tasks, you absolutely don't need Fable level intelligence - you need Fable level agentic capabilities. And this model has (almost) just that. If we get a similarly capable MoE model in a few months (yes we will), it's going to be an utterly wild ride.

Strangely Qwen 3.8 Max isn't on their list, at all.
