I can run this on my 3060 12gb. it's the first time local models are actually useful and not just a fun toy. The Q2xss runs are usable speed, it's slow but no token limits so you if you don't have a ton of money to burn on paid models like me it's the only thing you can run for hours non stop

It might be the first time where I felt like I could give up my Claude sub

why do I feel like this is the repeat of when IBM charged memberships to mainframes and then the PC dropped and mainframe access became worthless

I can only imagine what Qwen 4.0 27b will perform like. Local AI is truly the future.

I just installed the p40 you told me to buy last year so this release is fortuitous

America has been dumping money into AI to fund oligarchs, China has been funding AI to win.

2T/s but for non coding tasks is good

running it on an arc b70 pro 32gb vram, q6_k_xl 128k context. it really is very good.

On a p40 how much context would you be able to fit?

I have 2 x 3090s I bought a long time ago and 96gb ram and I’m excited. Planning to use my ChatGPT data export to populate an obsidian for memory.

Its very good! But there is a performance penalty compared with 3.6. In my agent its about 2-3x slower on the same reasoning effort. It seems to yap a lot more 😅

Thought I needed that much in vram for these models, but I’m sitting on 128gigs of ram before everything jumped in price. Think I might just load this up finally.

Deepseek has better latency because of the caching

I used it yesterday for a specific and kind of rigorous inference series I'd been using opus 5 for up to now and for the first time local model response was superior. it seems really excellent.

It's a very good model, but for example I have a 3080 with 10 GB of VRAM and 32 gigs of ram and I can run it, but it's really not usable. Too slow and makes the computer completely unusable in the meantime. It's getting to the point where it might be worth it to buy separate pc for running stuff.

Q :
petite question: wont it be very slow if you try to run it off of an SSD with internal computer ram less than 24Gbs of RAM? if I had a laptop 16gb of RAM but 4tb of SSD, do you think it would still run efficiently?

But ram is going to keep getting more expensive 😢 I should have bought more ram when I built my computer a few years ago.
