Qwen 3.8 27b vs Deepseek Flash

Hey Guys, What amazing weeks it has been for open source releases. I was really impresssed by DS flash final checkpoint and i have been playing around with it until qwen 3.8 released. I checked the benckmarks, and I dont know what to think anymore how can such a small model apparently compete with a model 10 times ( sure i hear 27B is not MoE but still....) . Did any of you used both and can tell if 3.8 is indeed that good or if its just benchmaxxing? what are your feeling for those who used both? Thanks submitted by /u/Best_Sail5 [link] [comments]
