Larger context just gets more work done rather than having to re-read files ETC id much rather use my extra resources on context window. Instead of more params. i get my 400k ctx qwen3.8-27b + web search search get the latest up-to-date docs for its lack of world knowledge and i don’t waste extra Vram storing data that i dont need. Also more active params makes the llm to hold a wider mental-model of the task. Qwen4-27b will be architected to make 1M more reliable and using it for context on a smaller dense model seems more productive for me. Anyone. Else notice agentic session really shines when ctx is larger? Thats the phenomenon im experiencing i tried 3.8flash-next yes it great and much faster but i prefer the reliability of that big azz boat load of context window. Specifically i you have the vram to spare if u can get 1M on that and have a large MOE with at least 12b active params + 1M it would be better for MOE a lot. Lot better than qwen4-27b but at 48Gb vram + 64gb system ram i see it more efficient for smaller model + 1M makes more sense   submitted by   /u/Express_Quail_1493 [link]   [comments]
