Anyone else amped up over Qwen 3.8?

Reddit r/LocalLLaMA Models

Summary

The author shares excitement for the upcoming Qwen 3.8 model, highlighting their experience with Qwen 3.6 27B for local LLM use, and discusses the potential of self-hosted AI to replace subscription-based frontier models.

I’ve been using 3.6 27B Q4, and that quant is fast on an M5. The code has been average, but consistently “good enough.” And, after a year, I can see home LLMs being served at home much like streaming music was introduced. A simple browser extension and all your queries go through your own llm first bypassing what I fear will be a metered intelligence service fee to power all your devices. No thx. I still have an anthropic sub since I got going but it doesn’t go as far as it used to. The frontier models can’t keep subsiding us. So, very much looking forward to what a 3.8 dense 27B can do when it finally gets that far. Now that everything is instant gratification, I want it now. lol
