Qwen 3.8 flash next is way better than 27B. It's so good I dont even use claude anymore

I have not tried Flash Next yet; but 27B is a cracking, little model. It is the first small model that I, as someone with 30 years of experience, can finally say is good enough to hand off small and mid-sized tasks and expect a pretty good result.

It is also a competent tool caller when quantised to NVFP4 for use with ninfer; my own harness only reports the occasional hiccup and it is only because the model will sometimes emit tool calling tokens in its reasoning loop.

Yeah I agree, I'm running it with Pi didn't notice much difference compared to lower tier models and the speed, of course.

		I am running 27B with Deepseek Harness these days and somehow just by using it, without any parameter changes, the model feels even more intelligent.
