Everything runs well if one is patient enough 😂

But yeah, with a smaller context and carefully offloading some of the layers to the CPU, it'll run just not very fast. And definitely using Q4 quants.

    I mean, if you're really patient you can even run with CPU only as long as you have enough RAM... My ~decade old computer with DDR3 RAM gets 14 tok/s prompt processing and ~5 tok/s decode on MoE models (e.g. a Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B variant at Q6_K -- my current default model). That pp tok/s is painfully slow... but it still works!

    Same computer, same model but using a discrete GPU that can fit all the weights on the card -- ~900 tok/s prompt processing, ~70 tok/s decode.
