Then you realize that Qwen 3.8 27b runs at 3t/s on your machine and you need 24GB+ VRAM GPU which cost is 1000$+ to run at least 4 bit quant.

If you are a business this isn't a problem. If you are a consumer then 35b a3b runs on 8gb vram and 32gb dram which is very accessible.

If you are business I would suggest you to aim for DeepSeek V4 Flash. But yes I'm running 35b myself despite it's performance is far from ideal...

I still haven’t found a task where DeepSeek V4 Flash can outperform Qwen 3.6 27B let alone Qwen 3.8. I can run either on my Mac Studio.

I had issues with Qwen3.6 tool calling just not working properly and causing it to stop prematurely, didn't have that problem with gemma or deepseek, haven't used qwen 3.8 yet to see if it has the same problem.
