Testing Qwen3.8 Vision: SVG Reconstruction & Anti-Benchmaxxing

bonobomaster · reddit · 2026-08-26

The author designed a benchmark for Qwen3.8-27B to test SVG and vision capabilities in a way that resists 'benchmaxxing'. The task is simple: recreate any given photo as an SVG using the prompt "Recreate as SVG".

Extensive testing revealed that the best results come from --image-min-tokens 1024, --reasoning-effort xhigh, --temperature 1.0, and bf16 KV caches. Notably, q40 quantized caches severely degraded output quality, while q80 performed well. The author also suspects the chat template influences output quality.
