antirez backs low-bit DeepSeek 4.1 Flash over Qwen 27B dense on Apple M5 Macs
antirez · x · 2026-11-12
liuliu advises: if you have an M5 Max / M5 Ultra, skip Qwen 3.8 27B—a good 2-bit quant of DeepSeek 4.1 Flash 1017 is far better than the 27B dense model. antirez amplified: obvious to anyone who tested seriously, but worth repeating ad libitum.
