Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to wildly overthinking things

Qwen 3.8 27B is strong but over-generates, needing careful prompt engineering.

Too early

trajectory — needs a few more snapshots

Why this scored 34

every term, weighted
Velocity+0.0 / 40 max

Engagement gained per hour since the last capture, against the fastest item on its own source

Acceleration+9.1 / 25 max

Whether that velocity is itself speeding up, as a per-hour rate

Cross-source spread+16.7 / 25 max

How many independent communities are talking about the same entity

Recency+9.3 / 10 max

Decays to zero over 14 days

Saturation penalty0.6 / 30 max

Subtracted once something is big and old — we rank what's next, not what's peaked

Composite34.4

Weights are hand-tuned, not learned — we're calibrating them against realized trends as history accumulates. On a topic's first sighting there's no previous reading to compare against, so acceleration starts from a neutral prior rather than a measurement, and velocity falls back to engagement over its whole lifetime until a second reading exists.
