Strata runs the 125B Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on a 12GB gaming GPU at 50 to 94 tokens per second. The RAM, VRAM, and SSD you need, measured speeds, and the catches.
DGX Spark, RTX Spark, Mac Studio M5, and Ryzen AI Max compared for running big local LLMs: memory size, bandwidth, real 2026 prices, and when a GPU still wins.
Ollama splits a model across GPUs automatically once it outgrows one card. The env vars that control it, mixing VRAM sizes, why NVLink isn't needed, and real builds.
Qwen3.8-27B needs about 14.3-17.6 GB at 4-bit, so one 24GB GPU runs it. Full VRAM table from 1-bit to BF16, the cheapest 12GB setup, and RTX 4090 vs 5090.
AirLLM runs a 70B model on a 4GB GPU by streaming layers from disk instead of loading them into VRAM. How it works, real VRAM numbers, and the speed cost.
What it takes to run DeepSeek V4 Flash locally: memory needs per quantization, realistic setups from a single 24GB GPU to multi-GPU rigs, and when cloud makes more sense.
