Summary
A user on r/LocalLLaMA identified a significant gap in Qwen3.5 models between the 9B and 27B versions, finding the 9B too limited and the 27B too slow for local use. They propose an intermediate model, such as an 18B, to strike a better balance between performance and efficiency. This highlights a community desire for more granular model size options to optimize local AI deployments.
