Users Debate Reasoning Speed and Efficiency of Qwen3.8 vs. QwQ
ForsookComparison · reddit · 2026-08-22
A Reddit discussion highlights the frustration with the slow reasoning speed of Qwen3.8-27B for local use, particularly for agentic coding. The author contrasts this with the 'QwQ to Qwen3' era, where QwQ offered next-gen performance but required massive context, followed two months later by Qwen3-32B which balanced peaks with usable reasoning amounts. Speculation arises that we might be in a similar gap period, waiting for a competitive model that requires less reasoning tokens.
