I should have clarified, you can’t run it on their local hardware, which is a 16gb gpu. Glm-5.3 and k3 are of course near the frontier.

Yes they are quite good, but are not able to run on a 16GB RX 9070.

Quantized Qwen 3.8 Flash Next could maybe run eventually on that card with a highly optimized inference engine that dynamically caches the hottest layer experts. Even then you run into some hard limits.

The post was replying to someone with 16GB. (And also: no, even the best open weight models are not as good as what you can use on your ChatGPT subscription. They’ve gotten a lot better, but not that much better.)
