Tess-4.5-27B open-weights coding model matches its Qwen base using 25% fewer tokens
Fine-tuned from Qwen3.8-27B on 127 real engineering sessions, it ties its base at 133/150 on BenchLocal while generating 25% fewer tokens, and its multi-token-prediction draft head roughly doubles code generation on an RTX 4090 (49 to 96 tokens/sec). Apache 2.0 BF16 and GGUF weights are on Hugging Face, and the benchmarks are Continuity Research's own runs.
