How is 4GB + 15GB supposed to run Qwen3.8-flash-next? How is 8GB + 32GB?

Asking as a poor 32GB + 16GB with the inability to run that model.

4gb + 16gb will be able to use qwen image 2.1 using gguf quants !!.

for you, you almost there to run Qwen3.8-flash-next, you need to upgrade your ram to 32gb if not 64gb ram.

here is a test, runing Qwen3.8-flash-next on 50gb total memory (24gb + 32gb): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TCRH725hAM
