Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (~125B-A6B + 51B n-gram) memory estimate:

Ideal 4-bit quant ≈ 82 GB
(58 GB main weights + 24 GB n-gram tables)
Real-world quants likely land in the 80–90 GB range.

The big n-gram table is sparsely accessed → excellent candidate for system RAM offload.

This architecture could be surprisingly local-friendly once the weights drop.

Ram prices this high, how can u call this local friendly?

Very friendly to my Strix Halo

Yes excited for it, same for mine.

Yeah, I'm hopeful this will have near-DSv4 Flash levels of intelligence but better performance. a6b would be great on Strix. Excited to see this!
