Why it worked

The video highlights a powerful, open-source AI model that can run locally, addressing common pain points like cost and data privacy associated with cloud-based AI solutions. This offers a clear value proposition for businesses and individuals.

Summary

Alibaba has announced Qwen 3.8, with open weights dropping next week. The flagship model competes with others, but the smaller Qwen 3.8 27B runs locally on 17GB RAM, offering cost and privacy benefits for users handling sensitive data.

alibaba just announced qwen 3.8 and the open weights drop next week. the flagship trades blows with opus 4.8 and fable 5 — wins vision, perception, and computer use, loses some coding. but the one that actually matters is the small one. qwen 3.8 27B runs locally on 17gb of ram. that’s a box on your desk, not a cloud bill. nothing leaves your machine, no per-token cost, no usage caps, nobody deciding next quarter that your plan costs more now. if you’re building anything with client data — legal, medical, financial — that changes everything. i’m moving my agent workloads local the week these weights drop. #qwen #opensourceai #ai #aiagents #aiforbusiness
