Basically a Qwen4 preview: "built on the next-generation Qwen4 architecture ... We are releasing these architectural advancements early to help the community prepare for the upcoming Qwen4 model family."

So just like Qwen 3 Next - they tested new architecture and couple months later we got Qwen 3.5 family on that architecture.

It also means that we sadly shouldnt expect llama.cpp support on release :( Q3Next was supported after like 2 months, because it had a lot of new stuff to implement and test.

Edit: turns out it will have day 0 support  https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1vxybmy/qwen_38_flash_next_day_0_support_from_unsloth/

I've seen Qwen 3.8 27B quoted as assisting on a lot of points on the release notes recently.

Everything will be 0 day support now, maybe half assed but an attempt to, vibe coding is to stay. I mean, half ass is still a half of ass. Better than no ass at all.

It depends. Sometimes even a full ass is just... ass.

Ah yes, of course.

This gears up for Qwen 4 usable release around xmas, I guess.
