Qwen3.8-27B has since come out at the same size, and neither card carries a dated note between them, so an operator learns of the successor elsewhere. None of the 40 most recent discussions has a Qwen comment. Reports titled about the template, tool calling and SGLang weight names, and a template pull request, wait.

LM Studio's MLX 4-bit is 16.1 GB. Alibaba's own smallest build is FP8 at 30.9 GB, so a 4-bit build means trusting a runtime's quantisation. Apache 2.0 with nothing added, ungated. DeepInfra, Featherless AI, OVHcloud, OpenRouter and Model Studio host it, at rates the dossier doesn't quote.

The card runs it with the qwen3_coder parser and the qwen3 reasoning parser, turns thinking off with enable_thinking false and keeps earlier reasoning with preserve_thinking. How tools are declared and returned, as function and parameter blocks inside tool_call, is only in the template. Template and tool-calling reports in the discussions have no Qwen reply.

The Hub hashes all 15 BF16 shards and the 66 FP8 files. The card's best practices cover sampling and output length, with no cautions, refusals or injection guidance, and there are no safety results. QwenLM/Qwen3.6 has no SECURITY.md, and qwen.ai answers every path with its web app, so there's no security.txt.
