That's the same score as GPT-5.6 Luna (max), and just one point behind GLM-5.2 (max) and DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 (max) - that GLM is 753B and that DeepSeek is 1.6B parameters, and Luna is size unknown but presumably a whole lot bigger than 27B.


Qwen 3.8 27B is https://simonwillison.net/2026/Aug/16/qwen-38-27b/">a truly astonishing model.
