UkisAI fine-tunes Qwen3.8-27B to cut reasoning tokens by 40%

UkisAI has released Swift-Qwen3.8-27B, a fine-tuned version of the Qwen3.8-27B model that significantly reduces token usage for reasoning tasks. This new model addresses the 'overthinking' issue present in earlier Qwen versions, which led to excessive token consumption without a proportional increase in performance. Independent verification and benchmarks show that Swift-Qwen3.8-27B uses approximately 40% fewer reasoning tokens while maintaining comparable output quality and speed. AI

IMPACT Reduces computational cost and inference time for Qwen users, potentially accelerating adoption of the model family.
