Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Suggest a model... (downonthestreet.eu)

This is my upgraded rig:

Ryzen9 5950x with 64gb DDR4
Dual NVIDIA RTX A4000 (16+16GB VRAM)

to whom read my previous posts, i jumped the gun and upgraded my server, it was worthwhile and somewhat cheap given i already had the two GPUs and the DDR4 RAM.

Anyway, i am currently running Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q5_K_XL all in VRAM with 65536 context and pretty happy with speed (80-90t/s) and overall responses (mostly chat).

I would like to experiment with something beefier, with CPU offload, that i can run with my llama.cpp. Of course t/s is not a goal here, but precision and accuracy of responses is.

I tried to find a good model with claude and gemini, but always got short. Once the model suggested fully crashed my server (guess fill up RAM and ended up in a swap loop), more then once i ended up chasing non existent models. Pretty annoying.

Considering i would only use between 32 and 48GB or system RAM, can you suggest (preferably with links to HF) some models?

I like qwen3.6, but open to anything.

What are you wanting to do with the model?

Agentic development with that setup, you can easily run a good quant of Qwen3.6-27B at full context. unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP Q5_K_XL and use a fixed template

Creative writing? Probably need a different model. I’ve heard good things about Gemma 4 31B.

Both of those are dense models so won’t be as fast as Qwen3.6-35B-A3B. Also play around with MTP, quants, KV cache quant, KV caching, etc.

The RAM size will limit you on larger models unless you stream from storage.

More chats i guess, maybe also agents in the future, i am keep to explore that but not yet there.

This is very interesting, i have saved your comment, it feels too soon for my understanding of it all, but both understory and pithagoras feels less obscure than what would have been, to me, only a few weeks ago.
