    Curious if or when we'll see the Qwen4 series, one thing I love with Qwen is it comes a much larger range of sizes so I can experiment which extremely small llms.

      I don't think Qwen3.8-Omni-X will ever be released.

      The last one was: Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;Qwen&#x2F;Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;Qwen&#x2F;Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct

      And maybe Qwen4 won&#x27;t be released, they only release Qwen3.8 27B (and a mostly unusable 125B). There are definitively slowing down open weight release.

        &gt; definitively slowing down

        Surely it was meant to be &#x27;definitely&#x27; - the &quot;good news&quot; at this stage are that given the speed of history and important levels of uncertainty, it is difficult to label trends with &quot;definitively&quot; ;)

        Some would not have bet that the change of management at Qwen would have kept similar good results, but there we are, presumably satisfied. Other changes will happen, there or elsewhere - the situation is still very open.

        And when the &quot;40Watts Intelligence&quot; (which we know possible) will be implemented... It will be a testimony that the current was only a middle-way, temporary, dynamic stage.
