VerifiedAfter 4-bit quantization, Qwen-7B can run smoothly on a consumer-grade GPU with 24 GB of VRAM.79% similarUnverifiedFor users with 12 GB of VRAM, Q3_XXS remains viable, and its coding capability is still superior to Qwen3.6.72% similarVerifiedA 27B-parameter model can run in quantized form on a consumer-grade GPU with 24GB of VRAM (such as the NVIDIA RTX 4090), without requiring data-center-level hardware.71% similarUnverifiedRunning medium-scale code models locally for inference typically requires a discrete GPU with more than 16 GB of VRAM to run smoothly.71% similarUnverifiedOn an M4 24GB device, a 9B model (such as qwen3.5-32k:9b-mlx) runs fast with low memory usage, but is unable to effectively identify code issues.71% similar
