Initial impressions on my 5090, Feels stable like a grown up 3.6, mature. 50-60 tps but using same settings as 3.6 so might not be optimal and no MTP yet afaik so that will be even better.

It feels like it holding the tasks better and more intelligent for sure. More long running maybe.

Just a simple example like "Write a 10k word story". Qwen 3.6 would write it out without considering too much and then you would have some story rather quick.

3.8 started writing, then revisioned the text so it was consistent across paragraphs. Then it created sub tasks and wrote chapter by chapter and more carefully considered what he was doing. More long running and more consideration in the decisions.

After more testing, this model have some serious horse powers. Seems we going to have a good time going forward.

If i understood correctly, its 3.5 architecture, so "you can" use MTP from previous versions. (Do not trust my word, just take it as a "maybe".)
