VerifiedAfter 4-bit quantization, Qwen-7B can run smoothly on a consumer-grade GPU with 24 GB of VRAM.79% similarUnverifiedA developer connected an iPhone 17 Pro Max to a 24GB-memory M4 Pro MacBook via a 10 Gb/s USB-C cable, using the phone as a second GPU to share the computational load for a locally running Qwen 3.8 27B (IQ4_XS quantization) model.75% similarUnverifiedqwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b is a MoE (mixture-of-experts) model in the Qwen series, and of its 35B parameters only about 3B are activated per token, so it can run at over 100 tok/s on unified-memory devices such as a Mac Studio.75% similarUnverifiedOn an M4 Max MacBook Pro (36GB unified memory), the MLX-format Qwen 27B sustains a decoding speed of approximately 40–41 tok/s in thermal measurements.75% similarUnverifiedA mid-range machine equipped with a 5060Ti graphics card, 16GB of VRAM, and 32GB DDR4 RAM can fully run the ComfyUI workflow collection combining Qwen3 and MiniMax H3.74% similar
