  • 8GB VRAM RTX 3070 + 32 GB DDR5 + 1TB NVMe SSD - AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU - putting this here in case it’s substantially better than the BC-250

    Yes this can run Qwen 3.6 35b-a3b pretty nicely! And they might be releasing an updated version of that soon. Your BC-250 only has 16GB total which is not enough for 35b.

    I also have 32GB RAM and 8GB VRAM, my computer is a little slower than yours, see my guide: https://lemmus.org/post/24235317

    For the BC-250 you might try smaller models like Ling 3.0 Tiny, Ornith 1.5 9b, or Gemma 4 12b QAT

    For your 8GB RAM devices, you can run Gemma 4 e4b QAT, Qwen 3.5 4b, or maybe Ling 3.0 Tiny

    I’m a noob to local LLMs.

    Use Unsloth Desktop or llama.cpp. Then you can connect Zoo Code to it, that’s a VSCode extension which I like for programming with my local LLMs.
