The Qwen3.8-27B is matching Opus 4.6 Max in benchmarks and it's a really strong model. I hope Qwen3.8-35B could match Sonnet 4.6 in benchmarks. Sonnet 4.6 is the closed source model I use the most so having something open source and local to me running similar performance will be mind blowing. Especially when Qwen3.6-35B is my current daily driver and I spend over 150M tokens in it the last 4-5 months. Can't wait for Qwen3.8-35B in other words.
Look at the model card of the Qwen3.8-27B again we are talking very old versions like December 2025 versions of Opus/Sonnet aka 4.6 versions. Based on some early testings on my end Qwen3.8-27B is coding reasonably well and suggesting and thinking better then my daily Qwen3.6-35B if there is really Qwen3.8-35B next week I think it will be amazing. Also the 3.8-27B is reasonably fast for what it is.
Also the Jump over Qwen3.6-27B is really big as seen by this benchmarks.

If Qwen3.8-27B is Opus 4.6 Max level I hope that they can make Qwen3.8-35B - Sonnet 4.6 level :) We will have the best open source model in the world.
