Qwen3.8 27B model successfully runs fluid simulation after initial failures

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA shared their experience running the Qwen3.8 27B model with an IQ3_XXS quantization for a fluid simulation task. Despite initial failures, the model eventually succeeded after a second attempt, completing the simulation in 42 minutes. The user noted that GPT 5.6 Sol also failed the task on its first try, suggesting potential limitations in current models for complex simulations. AI
