  • this page gives a 404
  • Oh shoot it had a nice countdown timer to ~8a PT when I submitted it
  • It feels so strange that we now have countdowns for model releases
  • Alibaba does this for their shopping biz all the time. Growth hack is very high priority in the company. Their homepage was a bunch of ridiculous SEO. The whole culture there seems very distasteful to me. This doesn’t mean this qwen model is bad today, but I’m a believer that culture will decide the product quality in the long run.
  • Trading blows with Opus 4.6 is impressive, awaiting unsloth quants
  • I miss a good 9B class model :',( The last one was 3.5.

    27B is just a little bit too big for a 16GB GPU.

  • Yeah, same with the latest releases of meta and NVIDIA. It's like everybody is expected to have 32 GB of RAM
  • Hopefully they release the 35B-A3B version alongside it.
  • DeepSwe score is 42.2. For comparison 3.6-27b is 13.3, GLM 5.2 is 44, and Opus 4.8 is 59.
  • Didn't think we'd have model launch pages so 'soon'; how long until we have something Steam-like and can preload our eagerly-awaited models?

    Anyway, eager to try [on hardware I own]!
