Qwen4-27B shows up in an Intel vLLM kernels pull request before any weights

A merged PR in Intel's vLLM XPU kernels repo is titled "optimize qwen4-27b," and the Qwen fan community has inferred from the kernel shapes that the model stays dense and close to Qwen3.8-27B, adding 4-way hyper-connections, a sparse attenti...
