And maybe Qwen4 won't be released, they only release Qwen3.8 27B (and a mostly unusable 125B). There are definitively slowing down open weight release.

I assume you are talking about qwen3.8-flash-next. Support for it on some places, like llama.cpp, is still wip (depending on configuration) but it looks like a very capable model in it's category.
So, the cost of a setup to run Qwen-Flash-Next at +40tks is around $3000. Too much for most people.
With only a RTX 4090, you will reach 30tps (with DDR5...), not +40tks, and it's about the limit to be usable. Oh ! I forget Apple device too, it's a good option to run this model I guess, but still slow.
Yet, as you said, it's still a wip implementation, it may improve soon (MTP support is about to be merged in llama.cpp soon).
Surely it was meant to be 'definitely' - the "good news" at this stage are that given the speed of history and important levels of uncertainty, it is difficult to label trends with "definitively" ;)
Some would not have bet that the change of management at Qwen would have kept similar good results, but there we are, presumably satisfied. Other changes will happen, there or elsewhere - the situation is still very open.
And when the "40Watts Intelligence" (which we know possible) will be implemented... It will be a testimony that the current was only a middle-way, temporary, dynamic stage.
I still agree that they aren't as aggressively releasing the open-weights models as before, but there hasn't been a major release they haven't published the weights for yet afaik.
