Local AI WizardQwen3.8 27B
The Qwen3.8 27B checkpoint is published by Alibaba for language and reasoning. Its weights are available under Apache 2.0; that alone does not establish that its code and all components are open source.
Consider this dense 27B model when comparing Qwen text and reasoning checkpoints and your memory budget is above the smaller 9B option.
The generic 29 GB estimate leaves little room under a 32 GB ceiling for context, batch size or multimodal components.

~29 GB generic Q4 planning memory. Formula: parameters × 0.625 bytes, plus 20% working allowance and 8 GB reserve. This is neither measured VRAM nor checkpoint download size.
Q4 planning estimate only. Check checkpoint format, runtime support, KV cache, context, batch size and offload before choosing hardware.
Evidence level: Generic estimate only; no execution reproduced by this site.
Before downloading
- Check the exact checkpoint and license linked here.
- Confirm a compatible runtime and precision or quantization for your platform.
- Allow for context, batch size and any extra media components beyond the weights.
