Qwen 3.8 Flash-Next is not dumb. If you've used it and that was your experience, your workload is either ultra-ultra-sophisticated or you're dealing with a broken quant/buggy chat template/other issue. That model is a smart, reliable workhorse.

it was an extremely simply workload with different off the shelf harnesses, they just all sucked when you compare it to a paid hosted model. It was fine for classifying stuff or summarizing though, but missed technical details.
