    Qwen3.8 27B 4-bit quantization keeps benchmark quality

    A benchmark comparison of Qwen3.8 27B quantizations found that the 4-bit Q4_K_M model performs essentially the same as BF16 on GPQA Diamond, IFBench, and Terminal-Bench 2.1 while using far less GPU memory. Performance drops sharply at very aggressive compression, with 1-bit quantization collapsing to near-random results on GPQA Diamond and degrading reasoning further on longer tasks.
