User downgrades from Qwen 3.8 to 3.6 due to excessive thinking
wsintra · reddit · 2026-08-21
A user reported downgrading from Qwen 3.8 27B back to version 3.6. The main reason was that the new model consumed excessive compute and context on simple tasks even with "low thinking" settings, making it less efficient than the previous version. The author shared the specific launch command used for the rollback.
