The community‑released Saluki 27B is a 2‑bit GGUF version of Qwen3.8‑27B. It is 7.89 GB in size and licensed under Apache 2.0. According to the MarkTechPost article, Saluki beats the original 54 GB model on tool‑calling benchmarks, though it lags behind on competition‑math and reasoning tests.
Developers can run a much smaller, freely licensed model that handles tool‑calling more effectively on modest hardware.
