Dynamic quants of Qwen3.8 27B fix 'caveman thinking' issue
Glad_Claim_6287 · reddit · 2026-08-25
A user observed a significant difference in Qwen3.8 27B quantization outputs: the Q4KM version produced "caveman thinking" (garbled/low-quality text) during reasoning, while the new dynamic quantization version outputs fluent natural language CoT. The author questions whether quantization alone could cause such a shift in output behavior.
