You are comparing dense models to MoE. You can't just take a qhen3.8:27b, a dense model, and extrapolate that math to make your arguments for the MoE model being discussed in the review.
All this takes is a simple bit of research, it's not like this author is the only person that's ever used qwen3.8-flash-next or another MoE on a mac ultra. https://tbreak.com/mac-studio-m5-max-review-local-ai/
> people like you in the industry are the reason I can work 8 hours a week and still get get paid a lot while being reviewed highly.
LOL. No offense but you sound like a carriage return. I'm pretty sure you sit at your computer hitting enter on a mechanical keyboard next to your fabulous mini pc living in 2025. You couldn't even imagine another use case besides being a carriage return for a local llm.
