Summary

The author expresses astonishment at the Qwen3.8-27B model's capability to one-shot a Super Mario clone locally, discussing its performance on a Framework Desktop and asking for speed optimization tips.

Running the Q8 GGUF on my Framework Desktop is not fast, but it's extremely smart for overnight batches and background jobs. Can't wait to play around with MTP and other quants. Have any of you found ways to improve speed while keeping accuracy? https://mikeveerman.github.io/qwen38-27b-mario
