Users report Qwen3.8-Flash-Next produces verbose, dense, metaphor-laden docs
walden42 · reddit · 2026-10-29
A Reddit user reports that Qwen3.8-Flash-Next is good at technical work but fails at explanations and documentation: extremely verbose output, dense jargon, and strange unhelpful metaphors that prompt-level constraints couldn't rein in. The setup used NVFP4 quantization with FP8 KV cache; switching to BF16 KV cache didn't help, so full-quality weights might mitigate it. The poster hopes Qwen4-Flash fixes this. First-hand behavioral feedback worth noting for anyone deploying the model for docs use cases.
