Qwen-Next seems worse to me then 3.8 27b for coding, but I feel like I must be missing something?

Hi! I run both models on MTPLX on my m5 max, and since I have 128GB of ram I run the q8 27b. I think MTPLX only lets me run "optimized for speed" which it says is a dynamic q4 with 8 bit attention.

Both of them honestly are very speedy! For coding (in pi agent in nodejs) I've just noticed that 27B feels stronger with harder tasks. But I've read so many people on here say qwen-next is better so I was wondering if maybe I'm just doing or thinking about it wrong?

(and p.s. its sooo amazing that alibaba just made and released this amazing models for free! ❤️)
