This stuff can run on a local machine without internet access, correct?
And it can pretty much match Nano Banana? https://github.com/PicoTrex/Awesome-Nano-Banana-images/blob/...
Also -- what are the specs for a machine to run it (even if slowly!)
This has nothing to do with nano banana, or image generation. For that you want the qwen image edit[1] models.
the model discussed here is text model, so similar to ChatGPT. You can also run it on your local machine, but not yet, as apps need to be updated with Qwen 3 Next support (llama.cpp, Ollama, etc)
Yes.
> And it can pretty much match Nano Banana?
No, Qwen3-Next is not a multimodal model, it has no image generation function.
Make sure to lurk on r/LocalLlama.
Please do take everything you read there with a bit of salt though, as the "hive-mind" effect is huge there, even when compared to other subreddits.
I'm guessing the huge influx of money + reputations on the line + a high traffic community is ripe for both hive-minding + influence campaigns.
