“Wu said Alibaba’s Qwen team plans to train a new model with 5 trillion to 10 trillion parameters , to tackle “more complex, longer-horizon tasks” as it pursues an artificial superintelligence, or one that surpasses human capabilities.”
Damn, Qwen 4 already? I’m still amazed at how good 3.8 27B is and am patiently waiting for 3.8 35B-A3B.
Last time I said I am waiting for the 35b a3b variant apparently they said they were not doing that, they were doing something “better” whatever that means.
I am also eager to see how they react to prism-ml’s compression because maybe that way you could trim the size of 27b down to reasonable for us anyway, then 35b a3b becomes obsolete. But we’ll have to see, all pretty fresh still.
Qwen3.8 Flash Next is the MoE/new architecture they released instead of a qwen3.8 35b MoE. They didn’t say it’s “better” they just mysteriously said 35B was not what they were releasing this round. A few days later, they released the flash next model weights.
EDIT: and it’s great, doesn’t overthink, but slow AF on my Poweredge T640 server with PCIe3 serving my RTX3090 and DDR4 (even in a proper quad channel config). Best I can get is 15 T/s
legends!
