Qwen3.8 27B

Everything below is a fact about the checkpoint, a measurement with its conditions attached, or a known limit.

in bring-up Step-3.7-Flash (stepfun/step-3.7-flash) — In bring-up. It is listed here when its correctness gates pass on the serving configuration, with its own measured numbers and its own price. No date is promised and nothing is charged for it yet.
Model id
qwen/qwen3.8-27b
Weights
huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B, Apache-2.0. Qwen trained this model; we serve it.
Serving precision
NVFP4 4-bit weights, with speculative decoding from the checkpoint's own multi-token prediction head. Every build passes the correctness gates before it takes traffic.
Context window
262,144 tokens, the checkpoint's native window. Input and output share it.
Modality
text + image -> text. Images are sent as image_url content parts and billed as input tokens, at the same $0.38 per million. Output is text. The live roster is authoritative if this page drifts: GET https://api.tiyuvta.ai/v1/models for parameters, and the provider feed at GET /models?schema=openrouter for the input modalities and their prices.
Price
$0.38 input, $0.12 cached input, $2.60 output, per million tokens. Full sheet.
Rate limits
Per account, for abuse control, and raised on request — capacity scales with demand rather than sitting behind a published ceiling. Trial credit runs at a lower rate than purchased credit.

Measurements

sealed 2026-08-15
protocol 984-prompt agentic bench file, greedy, streaming, 128 max output tokens, 3 repetitions per cell, medians reported. No shed requests and no errors across all cells.
Latency and reliability
Measurement Result Conditions
Time to first token, cold 0.166s p50, single request, nothing cached.
Time to first token, light load 0.25s p50 with four requests in flight. Eight in flight measured 0.40s.
Time to first token, continued conversation 0.13s Turn two of a 5,690-token conversation, 9 of 9 prefix-cache hits.
Output speed, single stream 132–147 tok/s Speculative decoding on, build v0.84.1. With speculation off the same configuration measured 69.1 tok/s, which is the floor to plan against. For reference, the fastest published provider on the previous-generation 27B board runs 76 tok/s at 0.47s to first token.
Sustained run 576/576 No errors, no shed requests, -0.27% throughput drift end to end.

These are our own measurements. Run your own during the trial credit and use those numbers instead.

Correctness gates

run before every release

Serving NVFP4 4-bit weights is a performance decision, and it is only safe if the output is checked. Each gate below runs against the exact artifact and configuration that serves traffic, and a build that fails one does not ship.

Checkpoint validation
1,968 tensors checked for shape and layout, with numeric spot checks held inside a 1e-3 relative tolerance.
Kernel coverage
85 kernel cells exercised green, with no silent fallback path left in the serving configuration.
Prefill and decode agreement
Prefill and decode agree token for token against an eager reference implementation running on the same artifact.
Speculative identity
Speculative decoding output is hash-identical to non-speculative output: 8 of 8 prompts, zero divergences at every draft length tested.
Reference oracle
The vendor's higher-precision release is served side by side as an oracle and the differences are recorded before a build takes traffic.

Known limits

Caching covers continuations only

A cached prefix is reused when a request continues a previous one — the same conversation, one turn later. Fan-out over one shared document with different questions does not hit the cache on this model architecture.

Long cold prompts are prefill-bound

A cold 100,000-token prompt spends seconds reading before the first token. Continuing the same conversation skips that work; fan-out over a shared document does not.

Thinking is on by default

Reasoning tokens are billed as output. Lower reasoning_effort when a task does not need it.
