A Reddit user compared Qwen3.8 Flash Next iq3 xxs against the 27B model at the same quantization. On a "solar system 3D sim in a single HTML file (no three.js/webGPU)" vibe test, Flash Next repeatedly failed, exhausting a 120k context limit on follow-ups, while 27B one-shot it perfectly. In agentic coding tasks Flash Next "thinks wide" but implementation often fails and burns lots of tokens. The post asks whether others see the same.
