|
|
use_cases:
|
|||
|
|
- "Local instruct / vision on T2–T3 (24 GB class at Q4)"
|
|||
|
|
- "Coding and office agents that need more than 8B"
|
|||
|
|
- "Homelab QLoRA base"
|
|||
|
|
sweet_spots:
|
|||
|
|
- "Apache-2.0, ungated, actually runnable unlike V4-Flash / K3"
|
|||
|
|
- "Native vision; 262k context (YaRN toward 1M)"
|
|||
|
|
not_ideal_for:
|
|||
|
|
- "Replacing the 8B always-on default until measured"
|
|||
|
|
- "Standing in for Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B (different licence, multi-TB)"

|
Released 2026-08-14, the day the automated brief last landed on
|
|||
|
|
origin — so the sensing loop never recorded it. Dense 27.8B,
|
|||
|
|
multimodal, Apache 2.0. Distinct from Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B (custom
|
|||
|
|
Max licence, ~4.89 TB). Nominate as W/R; do not pull until euro
|
|||
|
|
budget and R-spine review after V4-Flash lands.
|
|||
|
|
swot:
|
|||
|
|
strengths:
|
|||
|
|
- "Apache-2.0 dense multimodal at a size we can actually serve later"
|
|||
|
|
- "Likely better local default than Qwen3-8B if VRAM allows"
|
|||
|
|
weaknesses:
|
|||
|
|
- "Larger than current verified R instruct (8B)"
|
|||
|
|
- "Hardware envelope hosts still TBD"
|
|||
|
|
opportunities:
|
|||
|
|
- "R-spine upgrade path that does not need Glacier"
|
|||
|
|
- "Vision in the local working set"
|
|||
|
|
threats:
|
|||
|
|
- "Qwen 4.x could supersede before we pull"
