Qwen3.8-9B (Empero)

Qwen3.8-9B (Empero) — the current WumboLabs evidence state on one page: tested profiles, validated context, and the full chronological testing history. Each value is attributed to the profile and event that measured it.

/ latest evidence 2026-09-01

WumboLabs tests Qwen3.8-9B (Empero) on real consumer hardware. This is the canonical model page: current state first, then every tested profile and every evidence event. Values are attributed to the profile and event that measured them; historical findings remain the evidence of their tested stack and are never silently replaced.

  • Evidence scope: performance
  • Hardware: WumboServer (RTX 2060 SUPER 8GB)

empero-ai/Qwen3.8-9B-Distill-GGUF Q4_K_M/Q5_K_M/Q6_K on WumboServer RTX 2060S: admission benchmark, Q6 fit boundary, Q5 WELP-style serving campaign, and LocalMaxxing reconciliation (9b-q4 60.4 tok/s out, 5.37 GB peak VRAM). Hardware-lane evidence; Ornith-9B admission on the same GPU is recorded under its own model.

This event is a bounded public-safe summary derived from retained WumboLabs evidence. It is not a WELP characterization, a universal model ranking, or a production-readiness proof. Values are attributed to the tested artifact, runtime, hardware, suite, and settings.

  • Evidence maturity: SPECIALIZED_TEST
  • Evidence scope: specialized, performance
  • Hardware: WumboJetsII (RTX 5070 12GB)

LLMGauge vendor-alignment battery on empero-ai Qwen3.8-9B (Q8_0 + base Q4).

This event is a bounded public-safe summary derived from retained WumboLabs evidence. It is not a WELP characterization, a universal model ranking, or a production-readiness proof. Values are attributed to the tested artifact, runtime, hardware, suite, and settings.

Canonical evidence

All canonical public evidence lives in WumboLabs/evaluations. Each event links an immutable full-commit/path citation; each profile remains a distinct scientific identity, not a separate repository.
