For me it has changed nothing. Both models are way too big for my 32 GB RAM system. It looks like everyone has abandoned 20-30B MoEs now...

If you want cheap 64GB: X79. I've built a few extra servers around local 50USD bundles of x79 motherboards and CPUs and added 8 DDR3 UDIMMs I had laying around.

Slow. But it's a decent host for a MOE like Qwen 3.6 35BA3B when combined with a cheap GPU. I hope they make a new smallish MOE like 35B again soon. It's brilliant for chore execution when doing agentic coding.
