Frequently asked questions

Is local-qwen good for coding?
In our benchmarks, local-qwen scores 84.8/100 for coding, among the top 2 for coding on consumer hardware (≤24 GB VRAM). It runs at about 60.2 tok/s, so if you want more speed, unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF:IQ3_S is faster (~104.3 tok/s) and still scores well for coding (83.0/100).
Is local-qwen good for agentic (tool-using) tasks?
In our benchmarks, local-qwen scores 91.4/100 for agentic workflows. It runs at about 60.2 tok/s, so if you want more speed, granite-4.2-8b-Q4_K_L is faster (~71.6 tok/s) and still scores well for agentic workflows (92.9/100).
How fast is local-qwen for local inference?
Across 2 community benchmark runs, local-qwen reaches up to 60.5 tok/s and averages 60.2 tok/s, with the fastest results on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
How much memory does local-qwen need?
The leanest observed configuration used about 3.4 GB of memory.
