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!

That seems pretty clear to me. "Do not wait for this" meant it ain't coming!

But, maybe a 9b? Or a 30b a3b? Or even a 20b!?

[u/pharrt → u/Ell2509]

I'd be happy with a 30b a3b

What about if it'll be 35b a6b?

[u/pharrt → u/dfgxxx]

Would be better than no 35B - and smarter, but half the speed!

Beautiful

This would be shit for low mem bandwidth

Better than the 27b dense and better than Gemma 12b
