If the weights aren't released yet it isn't a "local model".

That said, I hope there is a Qwen4 max. Because Qwen3.8-Max is the only thing that comes close to Kimi K3. We need competition in the open-weights space.

The preview for qwen4 == qwen3.8 flash next. And that is released currently.

I believe they have confirmed there will be Qwen4 Max, Plush, Flash, and 27B as the 4 open weights they plan to release. Starting next week, but they didnt specify if they plan to release all 4 at once, or if they plan to just release one of them, and trickle the others out over time. (They likely will do the latter to stay in the news longer)

They are likely talking about Qwen3.8-flash-next which is the new architecture for Qwen4
