Honest question/suggestion for the HN audience- Since Qwen released the weights for Qwen3.8 2.4T-A95B and we already have the staring point of Qwen3.6 35B-A3B, couldn't someone distill the bigger model and make a "pseudo" Qwen3.8 35B-A3B? Sure, it wouldn't be an official Qwen release but couldn't someone improve on Qwen 3.6 and get the thing everyone is asking for?

I am calling this a suggestion for the audience because I don't have the will/resources to do this.

"Qwen3.8 35B-A3B" and 4B/9B variants are already on huggingface distilled by hobbyists.

Yes, of course. But no one really wants to be the guy actually renting an entire B300.
