    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.

        Out of curiosity, what&#x27;s makes the 125B unsuable? (performance of running it, the quality of that version of the model, or something else?)

          No, it is actually very good. Qwen Flash 3.8 Next is fine. But you need ~128GB of RAM to get it going and not a lot of people have that or can serve it very quickly. I have been running it on an old gaming system around 25 t&#x2F;s to do overnight work and it is very strong, even at 3 bit quant.

            Yes, that was my point. Good but too niche.
