In their words

"I don't need to know if 27B is better, but would it be worth using 27B to plan long horizon tasks" — a builder, verbatim · sign in free to trace the source ↗

What they tried & dropped

Extracted word-for-word from the evidence posts below — every item is quoted verbatim from a real builder.

Qwen 35B-A3B — "used exclusively" verbatimsign in to trace ↗

Pain, in numbers

Quantified only where a builder stated a real figure — no LLM estimates.

7-10 tok/sec“27B even with MTP is something like 7-10 tok/sec”

80 thousand stories“roughly 80 thousand of them”

Hard requirements

Non-negotiables stated by builders in their own words. Miss one and they will not switch.

What the numbers suggest

14 rivals shipping (fact bar) how verified → market is crowded; differentiate on the unmet requirements above, don't compete on breadth.
3 requests from 3 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
3 new tracked posts (all types) in the last 30 days vs 5 the month before see the curve → demand is cooling.
3 demand signals vs 14 shipping rivals → supply already outweighs demand — enter only with an edge.
0 willingness-to-pay quotes yetno one has named a price — validate pricing before building.
