A Reddit user asks why the community still overwhelmingly uses Qwen3 models rather than the newer 3.5 variants. Evidence cited includes Qwen image 2.1 shipping with Qwen3-VL 8B under the hood and numerous posts recommending Qwen3 models for various tasks as if they were the latest generation. The thread discusses what the newer versions changed and why adoption hasn't followed.
