tl;dr: new qwen finetune that simultaneously pushes the frontiers of small model capability and reasoning efficiency.
Hey everyone,
We are Sabi (https://sabi.com), a neuro-AI startup building a BCI + AI wearable that can do agentic actions using just your neural intents.
We publish two post-trained versions of Qwen 3.8 27B called Sabi-Noema and Sabi-Noema-MLA. These models push the capability frontier on <30B models with 2x reduction in verbosity, and are exclusively trained on open source environments.
These models have improved capabilities on coding, agentic and tool calling tasks, as well as hallucinating lesser. Sabi-Noema beats GPT 6 Luna-medium on DeepSWE, placing in between Luna 6 medium and high. It beats Luna-high on agentic and tool calling benchmarks like TB2.1, Tau-3 bench, ClawEval, and BFCL v4. Its hallucination rate is considerably lower than Luna, Qwen and other competing models.
These models are much more reasoning efficient. Sabi-Noema generates 50% fewer tokens per response on TB2.1 and 25% fewer tokens on DeepSWE, compared to base Qwen. Sabi-Noema-MLA goes even further by doing a post-hoc MLA conversion of Qwen's GQA attention. This conversion uses only a calibration dataset and no extra training. With BF16 latents Sabi-Noema-MLA needs 3.6x lower bytes per token. The MLA latents can be further compressed to FP8 with the total KV cache size on TB2.1 to 8.4x smaller with similar performance. To put this in perspective, when using Sabi-Noema-MLA at q4_0, on a 24GB GPU like 3090/4090 you can get a context size of ~534K where base Qwen at FP8 cache would only get to ~150K context.
We are excited to have the open source community play around with these models. We will be releasing more post-trains in the future focused on making <30B models more powerful.
TURBO-BRILLIANCE 50X - Qwen 3.8 27B, LFM, and more coming soon...
15 AI CONSTRUCTS:
Each a precision engineered "consciousness" to help you in every task, using fewer tokens and generating better answers.
This model has significant internal upgrades under user control that are "on the fly" (you set in your prompt(s) and/or API).
Please read this model card carefully to get the most from it - including all the reasoning and instruct modes (27+27+9 xhigh) that feature model suggestions ("context help") for all use cases.
The Turbo Brilliance system will begin appearing in other model sizes/types shortly (IE: Qwen, Gemma, Mistral, GLM, Llama, ... including our strongest fine tunes too). The "rollout" is now in progress...
Qwen 3.5 9B - The Defiant, 27B power ; now with Qwen 3.8 Reasoning modes.
640 ARC-C for both 8bit and 4bit. Model exceeds 7 of 7 benchmarks for Qwen 3.5 9B, Qwen3.5 27B, Qwen3.6 35B-A3B, and meets Qwen 3.6 27B in some cases... and it does so in 4bit and 8bit. Regular and MTP (fast) NEO IMATRIX GGUFs provided. (this model is part of the Qwen 3.6 27B Fable Fusion 711 pipelines: 2200+ likes, 3 million + downloads)
NEW - Qwen 3.8 Reasoning Modes: 2 MTP quants (Q6/Q8) Now with 5 reasoning modes (2 new - Spoon / Einstein), and 5 instruct modes (2 new - Spoon / Einstein, all use ZERO REASONING TOKENS) all switchable on the fly via API, direct and "in chat" (yes - model control at the chat/message level). Model name has "plusIQ" in the name.
(there is also a extra robust "tools" version too.)
PS: I have posted a 22k output example using "spoon" mode too.
UPDATE: This model (and a few more) will soon have 12 reasoning and 12 instruct modes plus interactive help, model embedded system to select the best reasoning/instruct mode[s] for all use cases.
