Leaked Qwen4-27B early build: ~35GB, tops benchmark, may be sparse MoE
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-08
A dev with API access to Qwen-4-Flash reports it as the 'smallest yet strongest' model on the GameFeel benchmark (35GB at Q8), though it burns 4x more reasoning tokens than any model tested. teortaxesTex speculates Qwen4-27B may be a sparse MoE unlike previous Qwens, potentially unlocking many local use cases — while assigning it low probability. Unverified rumor.
