Crazy to see how well Qwen3.6 35b-a3b is holding up, sure it is ~20% larger but it's scores are also ~20% higher with the same number of active params (excluding the IFBench).
Hopefully Qwen follows up their 3.8 launch with a new 35b-a3b
- WalterGR 1mo agoWhat’s expected in an updated 3.6 release?
- hadlock 1mo ago4 months of progress. Qwen 3.8 Max is, depending on who you ask, what you're doing, standard disclaimers, really really close to Opus 4.8. That is a huge dump from 3.6 Max. Presumably improvements in their training librar(y/ies), training improvements, etc will "trickle down" to Qwen 3.8. We are using 3.6 35B internally and it is in most cases better than Sonnet 4.6 which already makes it "good enough" for most data enrichment tasks. I would be a lot more excited about a MoE Qwen 3.8 35B-A3B than the "announced" 27B dense model. I have 50 million records I need to keep up to date, an A3B MoE is waaaay more performant than a 27B dense model.
