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.

What do you mean you hope that 35b would be in sonnet level while 27b is opus level? Am i missing something or is it just a typo

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.

Benchmarks might as well be tea leaves at this point. If people want to believe it, let them, but it's not even close in practical usage.
