User Debates Switching from Qwen 27B to 3.8 Flash Next on Local 4x3090 Setup

A user is considering swapping Qwen 27B for the 3.8 Flash Next model on a local 4x RTX 3090 rig. While the 27B model is capable, it suffers from indecisiveness and excessive verification loops during problem-solving. The user hypothesizes that a 4-bit quantized Flash Next running with ngrams on SSD would be significantly faster, but questions if the architecture is mature enough for reliable use.
