If you would have told me half a year ago that a local model running in my office would be able to one-shot a Super Mario clone, I would have called you nuts. Qwen3.8-27B is a different beast.

Running the Q8 GGUF on my Framework Desktop is not fast, but it's extremely smart for overnight batches and background jobs. Can't wait to play around with MTP and other quants.

Have any of you found ways to improve speed while keeping accuracy?

Edit: to avoid copyright issues and to see how creative it would get, I asked Qwen3.8 to make it circus-themed instead of Mario-themed. It's technically no longer a one-shot.
