Prediction: Opus 5.5-level models on laptops by 2027, backed by Qwen 27B data
cephaloform · x · 2026-10-16
Landon Green predicts we'll have Opus 5.5-level models running on laptops in 2027. Citing data: if Qwen 3.8 27B had been released a year ago, it would have been the best model in the world by a wide margin — evidence that small-model progress is fast enough to make the prediction plausible.
