Qwen 72B model breaks the size-intelligence curve, resetting consumer hardware expectations
Hesamation · x · 2026-08-19
A user highlights that Qwen's 70B-class model sits remarkably far left on the optimal quadrant of the size-intelligence chart, positioning it on the Pareto frontier. This suggests that a 27B/70B model achieves performance comparable to much larger top-tier models, resetting expectations for what level of intelligence can be run on consumer hardware.
