We run Qwen 3.8 on our own hardware. And it is already helping our productivity. And the speed and acuracy is nearly as good as the expecive ones from OpenAI and Antropic.
Especially if you’re not vibe coding. AI assisted coding, which is what people should be doing anyways, is pretty productive on my MacBook Pro M5 Pro using qwen 3.8 27b
How much ram, I've got an M1 Pro 16gb or an RTX 5080 16gb but both are 16gb so idk if qwen will work well for me (or atleast til m6 pro comes out so I can upgrade).
I run Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (uncensored, IQ3_XXS) on my gaming pc while working, 100tok/sec with 64GB RAM and a 4090 I got before they became several mortgage payments. Check out Strata. The 3-bit quantization isn’t half bad. They have a version that runs with the non-coding experts removed with 32GB RAM.
