Is it worth running Qwen 3.8 Flash Next on 4x3090 vs 27B?

Reddit r/LocalLLaMA News

Summary

A user is asking for advice on whether running the Qwen 3.8 Flash Next model on multiple GPUs would be better than using a larger 27B model due to performance issues and indecisiveness.

Can someone please tell me if it's worth running Qwen 3.8 Flash Next on 4x3090 yet over 27B? 27B is good but damn it is indecisive. I am getting frustrated watching it get "so close" to solving a problem, only to do another 2 hours of "let me just check/prove/etc" It looks like a 4 bit quant of Flash Next should fit with the ngrams in SSD and be a lot faster but it also sounds like the architecture isn't quite there yet Can someone smarter and more patient than me tell me what to do pls? thanks
