Summary

Comparison of Qwen 27B models across generations shows slight improvement in oneshot prompting ability, with average ratings increasing from 2.46 to 3.00.

Ran Qwen3.8 27B through all 35 oneshot prompts on oneshotlm and compared them to Qwen3.6 27B and Qwen3.5 27B. Here are the results. 3.6 was not able to create a working 2048 game but 3.8 did. 3.8's pelican is accurate 3.8 was able to get Wolfenstein mostly correct whereas 3.6 did not draw anything. I used Sonnet 5 to evaluate the outputs of all these models and looks like the average rating increased across the 27B generations 2.46 -> 2.74 -> 3.00.
