Artificial Analysis assigned Alibaba's downloadable Qwen3.8-27B a score of 52 on its Intelligence Index, according to the supplied report. The 27-billion-parameter multimodal model has Apache 2.0 weights, a 262,144-token context window and configurable reasoning; the report says a 4-bit version is roughly 17GB. The summary warns that benchmark harnesses differ and reports substantial latency and token-use trade-offs.
