This model showed the best time-to-finish amongst all main 27b versions:

vanilla Qwen FP8
Qwopus v2 FP8
unsloth NVFP4

Technically this is the fastest 27b model on the market because indeed it consumes 1.5x-3x less tokens (thus finishes early, faster than most of NVFP4 quants). On synthetic tests quality is also nose-to-nose with vanilla Qwen.

BUT in real life scenarios it failed me: logged "beer" instead of coffee into my food log :)). I am using Qwopus v2 for ±40 days and it never allowed anything like this. Also Qwopus v2 is only 5% more tokens than ThinkingCap.

Thanks for the feedback @batsclamp - do you have more details on the synthetic tests and times-to-finish that you ran?
Would be amazing if you could tell us the exact prompt that resulted in 🍺 so we can try to reproduce it

hi @klasocki ! some synthetic tests details are here https://github.com/ageev/AI/blob/main/benchmarks/qwen3.6-27b-spark-eval/bakeoff-2026-07-14.md

the "beer incident" happened when I sent it the picture of my coffee cup via hermes agent. Instead of logging it as a coffee to my food log, it decided it was a beer bottle ("light, 4.8%, 330ml") instead.
