I believe you mean 35B-A3B, there was no such thing as A4B. I use 27B and other models for software development, and quite a few research or similar agents. I cannot imagine a world where the old 35B-A3B model is smarter / more capable than 3.8 27B - the difference is night and day for coding at least. Where 35B-A3B was fast and felt like a Haiku model, 27B feels like a strong Sonnet when given the right tools. I don't use turbo quant so can't comment on that, but with the A3B model you're using you probably won't get much from using MTP with small MoE models like that.
