    I'm hoping they release an 8B v2 based on the Qwen 3.8 series in the near future - that would give us a really powerful model that could be run directly on users phones.

      Yes! And maybe get a hf fused webgpu runner for that model so it’s fast!

      That would require Alibaba releasing a Qwen 3.8 8B first
