Qwen 3.8 27B weights are coming out next week. It's a big deal. We are going to have close to GLM-5.2 level intelligence running locally on a 36GB MacBook ($4k) at ~25 tok/sec. Watch this so you know what's coming. Great convo w/ @jason @Lons @eisokant @Ape https://t.co/32R5Nqsn1C
Terms in this piece · Glossary

Why it matters
If the claim holds, frontier-adjacent capability moves onto consumer hardware, which changes what engineers can run locally instead of via an API.
