Reddit r/LocalLLaMA News

Summary

A user inquires about the minimum hardware specifications, such as RAM and VRAM, required to run the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next AI model, including expected performance metrics.

How much system RAM? How much VRAM? How much SSD space? Ideally list for q3/4 but q2 might also work since I have seen 3.8 27B perform well even on q2. Currently I have 5070 Ti with 16GB VRAM and 48GB system RAM. I can upgrade system RAM to 96GB is that will allow it to run. What sort of tg/pp can I expect?
