I don't see the point of paying for external inference on Qwen 3.8 27B with a bunch of arbitrary limits, when you can run it locally without ridiculous memory requirements. Even the unsloth Q8-XL version of it with full context and extra llama-server --cache-ram (like 10GB instead of 8GB) fits in 64GB. Paying for external inference for a much larger model like qwen 3.8-flash-next Q8 with full context makes a lot more sense, since the model consumes something like 188GB RAM when fully loaded into an inference engine. Yeah I guess this is cool and all that it runs at some ridiculous token/s rate but if the actual usage of it is highly limited... What's the point? I'd rather have a much slower tok/s rate that can chew on things 24x7.
