The 35B-A3B MoE activates only 3B params per token - quality tracks active params, making it more like a smart 7B than a true 35B. Revised rating to B+ to A-. The 27B dense model is the real A- but needs 17GB weights. Also notes: 262K is a VRAM ceiling not a quality guarantee, Q4 quantization costs something, and context quality degrades at edges. Practical high-quality context is more like 64-128K. https://claude.ai/code/session_01PtYTPherSJaxDEVPgF6Nxu
