The big problem with overthinking on a dense model is obviously the speed hit you take. Going from Qwen 35BA3B to 27B for me is about 7-8x slower (should be ~9x?). This makes me a lot less patient for…

I should have read that, it’s actually quite reasonable and I don’t really understand the objections in TFA having read it. > One of my fundamental problem with this is that no two synonyms carry t…
