Qwen 4 is coming Now & Beats GPT-6, Fable 5.

- 27B variants land first.

@ScottHayes11b You’d think having no issue working Sunday would be a true help to them. It’s just one day off. You’ll get there man! Stay strong!

@Rahmanbarik I can’t use it, it’s maxed out in a day.

@AidenAllred2 @mattpocockuk He’s goated and when you tell him to write phases plans with reset prompts and haiku / sonnet sub agents, it’s something else. Setup your hooks also. Just ask him.

@morganlinton Set hooks, design log, phased plans, goated

[Tom Whitbread @tomw87_]
