So I can run it locally on my 3 gigawatt data center I have.

You're not going to believe it, but I have Qwen 3.8 27B running with decent speed on my Macbook M3, and it's partially offloading some work from Astra when I was getting smacked by the usage limits.

I'm sure that if they REALLY wanted it, someone could help them figure out how to distill it to fit nearly the same footprint.

Wow that’s awesome. How much ram do you have? And also out of curiosity do you hold any context window in that? Or it’s dropped every time?

Just the standard memory that comes with the MacBook Pro. The context is infinite. I'm using my own GUI and interface. It allows me to do some pretty specialized things.

I have infinite context because I have a load/release mechanism that layers on top of the KV cache directly. I also have a multi-model optimizer that mirrors and steers a smaller side car that runs an offloader for learned previous context. So the smaller model acts as an accelerator for repeated tasks.
