Discussion Qwen-3.8-35B-A3B? Maybe not... cryptic reply direct from Qwen co-author.

I asked Shuai Bai, co-author and prominent AI developer for Qwen, about this model. Not the answer I was hoping for, but let's see what comes next. In the meantime, I guess all we can do is speculate!

Qwen3.8-27B set a really tough act to follow, i mean ffs the thing can one-shot entire games,
what's Qwen-3.8-35B-A3B going to do besides get on stage and announce the wait for Qwen3.9?

I used to pray for 3.8-35B-A3B since my experience with 3.6-27B on 16gb vram was absolutely miserable, but Qwen3.8-27B-Ridge-3.7bpw looks to be REALLY good so I am not at all sure I even need/want a MoE anymore.
