Qwen3.8-27B vs Qwen3.8-Flash-Next smaller quant?

Reddit r/LocalLLaMA News

Summary

A user compares Qwen3.8-27B and Qwen3.8-Flash-Next models for intelligence and coding performance with 128GB RAM, seeking advice on which is better.

If you only had 128gb ram which one would be more "intelligent", Qwen3.8-27B (or even 3.6) or a smaller quant of Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (Q4/Q5) ? Mostly for discussions, but also interested in coding. Thanks edit: I have a 128gb Halo. By "intelligent" I mean more intelligent answers like proprietary models, not just world knowledge. Please only answer if you actually tried the model.
