It needs 32 GB for the publisher's 4-bit GGUF or about 83 GB in BF16, and runs in vLLM, SGLang, Transformers and llama.cpp. The main risks are an undisclosed merge method, a card that disagrees with its files, and no safety results.\n\n**Qwen3.8-27B.** A dense cousin for coding and agent work with image and video input that runs almost anywhere. Ollama's 4-bit build needs about 22 GB, and five providers host it for agents without the hardware. The main risk is that nobody at Alibaba answers, there are no safety results or agent guidance, and the tool format is only in the template.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Darwin-36B-Opus\n\n1. Quickest start is `llama-server -hf FINAL-Bench/POCKET-35B-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja`, about 21 GB of files\n2. On the reference machine BF16 fits, `vllm serve FINAL-Bench/Darwin-36B-Opus --reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder`, the parsers for Qwen3.6's format\n3. Thinking is on by default, send `chat_template_kwargs` with `enable_thinking` false for short tasks, a switch the card doesn't mention\n4. The card suggests temperature 0.6 to 0.7 and at least 5,120 new tokens for its think traces\n5. generation_config.json stops only on the end-of-text token, so add `\u003c|im_end|\u003e` as a stop token if a runtime keeps generating after the turn ends\n6. Text only, the vision encoder of Qwen3.6-35B-A3B isn't in these files\n7. Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output isn't documented\n\n### Qwen3.8-27B\n\n1. Quickest start is `ollama run qwen3.8`, about 18 GB of files\n2. On our reference machine use BF16 with `vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B --max-model-len 131072 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder`, since FP8 on gfx1151 isn't documented\n3. Use the qwen3_coder tool parser, SGLang's cookbook says the Hermes parser leaves its calls unparsed\n4. Thinking is on by default, pass `chat_template_kwargs` with `enable_thinking` false for short tasks, and read the reasoning from `reasoning_content`\n5. `reasoning_effort` takes xhigh (default), medium or low, and any other value makes the template raise an error\n6. Sampling per the card is temperature 1.0 and top_p 0.95 when thinking, temperature 0.7, top_p 0.8 and presence_penalty 1.5 without\n7. Preserved thinking keeps earlier reasoning in the context unless `preserve_thinking` is false, which grows long agent sessions\n8. Turn on YaRN only beyond 262,144 tokens, the card warns static YaRN can cost quality on short texts\n9. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since structured output isn't documented\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Darwin-36B-Opus or Qwen3.8-27B?\n\nQwen3.8-27B scores 68.6 (B) on agent readiness against Darwin-36B-Opus's 61 (C), and leads in 1 of 4 scored categories.
