Qwen3.8-Flash-Next -- feedback beyond benchmarks?

So, I finally got this thing running on my local hardware, but it takes most of the resources of my box. Before I throw away the desktop/etc aspect of my hardware and relegate this to a dedicated inference node... is there anyone actually *using* this model for agentic coding? How's it perform? I could go with qwen 3.8 27b dense using other hardware, and leave this open as my workstation plus smaller classifier models, etc. Is 3.8-flash-next good enough to pretty much dedicate this box to? What have you made with it?

Help a busy guy figure out what to download next...

It seems like a new open-weight model has dropped every other day! I've been busy rebuilding the homelab, so haven't had the chance to really understand what's the new hot thing for Strix Halo machines. I'm running a 128gb, and am looking to augment my roster:

Model Name Downloaded Size (GB) Details

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Muse-Glimmer-30B-GGUF-kquant-dynamic Yes 19.60 llamacpp

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B-GGUF-Q6_K Yes 28.00 llamacpp

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-MTP-GGUF Yes 22.10 llamacpp

Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF-UD-Q4_K_XL Yes 17.20 llamacpp

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm looking for at least one MoE/etc that's fast enough for interactive, then one background "bubba" that can handle the hard stuff.

What's the bees knees these days? I'm running (hopefully) a pretty stock Lemonade to surface them...

Campaign / contracts in SE2 Survival?

Hi all, I'm sort-of wondering if I hit a bug... I started up the campaign (not classic) survival in SE2, and did the contract missions you get from the safe area. I didn't really have any other missions to choose from... I eventually finished the "go find ice" one, and then it's like: "congratulations, go build a spaceship." There were many blocks I hadn't unlocked, so I tried the debug menu stuff, but I'm just wondering if the bug was not getting unlocked blocks, or if I somehow missed a bunch of missions and optional contracts. Thanks for any feedback!

SE2 -- the Grasshopper & visibility

So, I recently got SE2 early access, and this is my first space engineers experience. Quite fun so far! But I recently got the ice mission, and it's night-time... I've tried using my Grasshopper ship to find ice, but the visibility is so poor, I keep crashing.

Did I miss a clue? Should I be hoofing it on foot or something? Is there a way to improve my ability to see the terrain at night from the sky?

Aside from watching random videos on YouTube, is there some wiki or something I should go read to learn more than the tutorial campaign missions are teaching me?

Just signed up for my first line...

Annoyed by T-Mobile's price increase, I did my homework, and found y'all. I ported my number in, and if the next couple of weeks go well, I'll be porting in the rest of my family's lines!

In the future, i plan to add a 5g backup to my home (fiber) network. What plan (if any) would support that?
