best <40B alternatives to Qwen/Deepseek for (1) Coding (2) Long document QA test
Due to some reasons, Qwen/Deepseek Chinese models are NOT allowed in the my workplace. So, what local models, do you think, is the best alternatives to Qwen/Deepseek for
(1) Coding
(2) Long document QA test (like giving a long medical history of 120k tokens and ask a question based on that medical history)
Gemma 31B ?
Muse Glimmer 30B ?
Nemotron ?
also, I know that nothing beat qwen nowadays, but are there fine tunes from these alternative model that make them better than qwen3.8 27B in terms of coding ?
