A Reddit user asks whether Qwen Flash Next, reportedly run by others on 12GB VRAM plus 64GB RAM and on 64GB unified-memory Macs, could work on a 64GB RAM mini PC with an AMD 780M iGPU. They currently run 125B Ling 3.0 Flash at Q2 quants via llama.cpp (Vulkan) but note llama.cpp cannot yet offload n-grams to SSD, and other inference engines lack Vulkan support.
A developer benchmarked a llama.cpp-based expert streaming setup for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 177B (UD-IQ3_XXS) on Windows, reaching roughly 11.5 tok/s in benchmarks and 14–15 tok/s in conversation on an RTX 5070 12GB with 32GB DDR4 — up from about 7 tok/s. The gains came from fixing Windows I/O queue-depth issues, one file handle per worker, and a page-locked hot-expert tier for pulling hot expert weights. The setup and methodology are published on GitHub with demo videos.

A LocalLLaMA thread captures low-VRAM hobbyists (8GB VRAM, 16GB RAM) hoping for a Qwen4 35B A3B-class release that fits their hardware. Until then, users rely on Gemma 26B QAT, which reportedly runs at about 26 tokens/second on such setups.

A Reddit user building a 128GB VRAM rig asks which large open models to run locally: Qwen3.8 Flash-Next, GLM 5.3, or DeepSeek 4 Flash. The thread reflects a practitioner trade-off between quantization levels and model reception.

A Reddit user details their current local inference setup using a 7900 XTX for Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B and asks for advice on building a dual 3090 system with NVLink and vLLM to run Qwen Coder Next (38GB). The post highlights practical considerations for tensor parallelism and NVLink's role in inference vs. training.
