Local AI folks are gonna be eating good this month btw
am.will (@LLMJunky): In exactly a day and a half, Qwen 3.8 27B will absolutely DOMINATE consumer devices.
Prediction: it will have ~Opus 4.6 level performance on a single 3090, exactly as @TheAhmadOsman predicted last year.
Think about that. A local model running on a single GPU able to do things
