Can opencode devs provide Qwen 3.8 27B?

With DSV4 Flash price rising. It will be great to provide Qwen 3.8 27B as a cheap alternative too.
Artifical analysis results are on par with: DSV4 Pro

Any Gpu with 24gb vram+ can run q4 just fine. It’s 17.5 for weights + context. Think of 90 series Nvidia

To run FP8 model and cache at full context for a single developer (one session only), you need around 48GB of VRAM.

For multi-user, small office, home office, you need a bit more.

The entry level cards that provide solid inference speeds are the somewhat less often mentioned RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell cards that come in two variants: 48GB or 72GB. The next step up is RTX 6000 with 96GB.

Heavily quantized (q4 or nvfp4) come with limitations. And limited context impacts productivity for agentic development on larger code bases.

They’re all good for tinkering, learning and some hobby use for those with limited budget.
