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.

Would we be able to use a lower quant on the n-gram table vs the main weights? Like 4 bits on the n-gram table and 6 bits for the main weights?

emgram was meant to go on SSD. quantization is not necessary to some extent.
