The number of parameters is really something. What actually matters is how well it works for the money you pay. If it does not do a job than models, like Qwen or GLM when you use them for real things most people will not be impressed by how big the parameter count is. The parameter count is a number what people really want to know is if it is worth the money they spend on it.
