alt Hacker NewsI'm hoping the decision makers at Qwen notice how influential the 3.6 series is while the 3.7 series has had very little attention at all.
(Of course for all I know the 3.7 series is doing incredibly well in China, but I've seen almost no buzz around it from the circles that I inhabit.)
My impression is that with the latest round of high-profile releases, the open-weight "market" is coalescing around two players, DS4 Flash for speed and GLM 5.2 for smarts. Qwen is being left behind to pick up the scraps for the terminally GPU-poor.
We know they have what it takes to fight back, and they know it... so I agree, there's no reason not be optimistic about future Qwen releases. But then I've never really understood what motivates these releases in the first place.
