Qwen 3.8 27B and Qwen3.5 27B are Alibaba's dense 27 billion parameter open weight models. They are small enough to run on one GPU and strong enough to be the most popular base for community uncensoring: there are abliterated, heretic edited, derestricted and fine tuned versions from many authors.
Those versions are not interchangeable. Some keep the original's skills, some loop in agent tasks, some still refuse. You do not need to download 50 GB of weights to find out: the versions below run on the Open Uncensored API with an OpenAI compatible endpoint, and we measure them on the same tests. Every Qwen model we serve, ranked or not, is on the models page.
The originals
- Qwen 3.8 27B scores 34% on Humanity's Last Exam and 91% on GPQA Diamond (Artificial Analysis, reasoning mode).
- Qwen3.5 27B scores 24% on Humanity's Last Exam and 86% on GPQA Diamond (Artificial Analysis, reasoning mode).
Every uncensored version keeps that starting point. What differs is how much each edit costs in agent reliability, how much it still refuses, and the price.
