The PLE (n‑gram table) stored on SSD is heavily quantized in standard GGUF releases of Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, which measurably degrades performance as shown by benchmark tests from /u/MarkoMarjamaa. Users are questioning whether running the model with the full, unquantized n‑gram table would avoid this penalty. The discussion references prior posts comparing Strata‑quantized Qwen 3.8 Flash Next performance.
