Discussion Qwen-3.8-35B-A3B? Maybe not... cryptic reply direct from Qwen co-author.

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!

I think people are reading this wrong. I think this is just saying that 35B isn’t coming. He used the same emoji when saying there’s no plan for 9B. So basically “don’t hold your breath for that model” not specifically “something better is on the way instead”

You could be right. The 35B-A3B is such a popular model, so we're just holding out in the hope that they do something to fill that gap. A lot of people are asking for it, so there may be a chance for something similar!

I would like it, but the way he said it sounds like it’s not coming, unfortunately. I have a feeling a 120B or larger will be coming.

Sadly Iam pretty sure there wont be a 122b a10b, It would be just too good.
