i’ve been using qwen 3.6 35b a3b, 64gb ram, a used 4080, llama.cpp with some tweaks for more tool calling, and some amd cpu that has a npu in it from a couple years back i cant be assed to boot it up right now to check lol
i got the ram and gpu before everything went completely to shit, whole setup was like 2k usd or something but was kinda important to my job so i got it with a partial rebate from my employer. i havent really tried to optimize it much. qwen 35b a3b has slightly worse performance than 27b but runs a lot faster.
