Why Closed AI Remains Silent After Qwen 3.8 27B Drop
My_Unbiased_Opinion · reddit · 2026-08-23
A Reddit user notes the striking silence from the 'closed AI' camp following the release of Qwen 3.8 27B. The author suggests this model, which runs locally on 16GB VRAM with high performance, poses a real threat to paid proprietary models. Previous fear-mongering about open-source models (like GLM and Kimi) was seen as a tactic to protect IPOs, but it backfired. This time, the closed-source side has learned to stay quiet.
