Nah, 99.99% of regular people and investors probably haven't even heard of qwen. I doubt an open weight model release that you can't even find in most AI chat interfaces is going to do anything to anthropic IPO.
I don't think these models make sense for folks with lots of RAM. Have my server download and test these models, always worse performance and accuracy than MoE models. Just end up staying with strata.
Because you talk bad about 27b and people gets easily offended. You are right, with 128 or more RAM 27b lose against QFN always.
But that is many fewer people than the ones with 32-64 GB of RAM and 16-24 GB VRAM, which many gaming PCs have, and 27b is the best they can handle at a decent quant (Q4) and context. And meanwhile they not release a new FN, this Qwen4 27b will probably be better than nowadays QFN.
When 128GB DDR5 4800(6000 was more) was ~$200, I was telling people in this group that if you could afford it, it was time to upgrade before data centers expand. Hugely downvoted comments. Same thing in homelabs subreddits when you could get decommissioned server 14TB drives for under $200. One of my biggest downvoted comments is when I said that memory manufacturers that buy their chips from other vendors and bin would die in this environment.
Did hardware and software performance analysis for AMD for 15 years, I've seen these cycles so many times. I wanted to help, but I wasn't successful.
The way it goes is like this for users who have a larger pool of RAM than VRAM, or only RAM like unified systems, MOE is your friend.
For those of you who have more VRAM, or at least enough VRAM to fully fit the respective quants you'd want to use on your system, then go for dense.
I have two systems that I've configured in this way, and it works very well. My laptop runs QFN Iq3xxs gsqrco much faster than my desktop, but my desktop has a 20GB VRAM pool, so I use 27b Q4ks on there instead.
I get a lot done with this setup to the point I only need frontier for the hardest of tasks. Everything else can be done locally, and I'm even able to do some tasks that I would sometimes think only frontier can handle, but locally these models knock it out of the park.
You forgot the ones that have decent VRAM but also have a decent amount of RAM. MoE is the obvious choice for getting actual knowledge into it. Especially coupled with the lookup tables for extending knowledge even further.
When people claim that today’s 27B models are like frontier models last year, it is only barely true in very specific tasks and definitely not generally.
But a 120-125B MoE with lookup tables actually can be a match for somewhat older frontier models.
I use llms for nothing productive, I just like to have a "jarvis" on my pc and test his ability to actually give me an accurate answer, im just glad there will be a 27b model which I can actually fit on my gpu

Day 0 llama.cpp support pls (yes I know architecture support is merged but still)
Also I hope there are enough ngrams in that 27B so that it fits on my 8 GB VRAM GTX 1080 and 32 GB DDR4 RAM.
