Ammargok · reddit · 2026-08-27
A developer on Reddit asks whether Qwopus3.5-9B-Coder, with its speed (150+ tok/s) and 128K context advantage, is still worth using in 2026, or if it will be overshadowed by the larger (27B) but slower (80K context, 20 tok/s) Qwen3.8 on their hardware. The question focuses on local coding scenarios, sparking a discussion on the trade-offs between model size, speed, and context.
