First reported

Latent Space ran this on .

  • A modified version of Qwen3.8-27B, a model from Chinese AI company Alibaba, runs locally on Apple Silicon machines with refusals removed, meaning it declines fewer requests.
  • The model handles 262K context, a measurement of how much text it can process at once, enabling longer documents or conversations than many alternatives.
