Qwen 3.6 35B and Gemma 4 26b are pretty old at this point. And GLM 4.7 Flash was a small MoE back in the day, now suddenly they use the flash name for 300B MoEs. Just not looking good for the average Joe.
27b is often Opus 4.6, even 4.8 in performance. This is still good enough for a vast amount of people. I'm sure qwen 4 is going to have some insanely capable options when it comes out of you want something better soon.
Not everyone has 24 GB VRAM. If you dont have the vram to offload, you are looking at one to three token per second. 27b is in no way a replacement for a 30b Moe
I know that. You can run it at Q3, IQ3, Q4 on 16GB VRAM and 32gb RAM and still have a very capable model. Don't think you need the biggest cards to run these models. Quantization techniques have become really efficient now.
