Qwen 3.8 Flash Next NVFP4: benchmark results and the broken thinking mode

Qwen 3.8 Flash Next is the best instruct model in our benchmarks, but its thinking mode is broken in our NVFP4 runs on vLLM 0.30.0: answers stop after the first token or the thinking block never closes. Until this is fixed, we recommend not using this setup and using Qwen 3.6 27B or Qwen 3.8 27B in thinking mode: they need far less VRAM and are much better at reasoning tasks.
