Qwen 3.8 35b and 122b - We hope/wait/beg for models incessantly. But how do we actually give the lab more incentive to make it?

Reddit r/LocalLLaMA News

Summary

The article explores how the r/LocalLLaMA community can provide real incentives to AI labs for releasing desired models like Qwen 3.8 35b and 122b, moving beyond simple demand expressions.

So many comments begging for these models, and I get it. People from the labs frequent r/LocalLLaMA, so maybe the begging comments aren't useless. They make demand known at least. Same with polls, etc. But what could this community do to actually help the lab, or somehow give them real incentive to release a model that the community really wants, but they couldn't quite justify it because of their roadmap or compute budget or whatever? Ideas?
