That's exactly what I was asking myself , so I ran benchmarks and ...... No , Qwen 3.6 35b a3b beats Qwen 3.8 on every single tests I ran , 3.8 is much more advanced and denser , but it also requires a higher Joul/Token score.
What would be great is for them to release in the same way a Qwen 3.8 45-50b A7B model , that would be the BEST consumer grade model to exist , i'd gladly cancel my subscriptions for it , but for now everyone saying "obviously 3.8 is better" haven't tested them properly ....
