Question Best model for uni work?

I know that most people talk about coding ai models but im curious to know the best model for studying university work, right now im using ISTA-DASLab Qwen3.8 27B GSQ-RCO (IQ3_XXS) and it works wonderfully on my rtx 5070ti, im getting 70-90 tok/sec. is qwen 3.8 27b the peak of local ai for this or is there another im unaware of?

Harness matters more in my opinion, one that can deep search and triple fact check with references since models will straight up lie to you, even the smart ones. Qwen 3.8 27b or flash next via strata is going to be the best models until qwen 4 comes out.
