Qwen3.8's large mixture-of-experts model: far more knowledge than the 27B, with few active parameters, so it stays fast.

Run it

Follow the steps below to download and run this recipe. Omarchy Local AI lists the recipes it can launch on your hardware. The server then answers on http://localhost:8000/v1.

1 Set up first

# Requires one Intel Arc Pro B70 32 GB, 25 GB of free host RAM, and 131 GB on a local NVMe SSD: 85.14 GB of weights plus the 45.8 GB packed expert store that the image's pack-store step builds once (prepare). Routed experts stay on NVMe behind the VRAM expert cache (8,000 slots) and a 8 GB RAM tier; a decode pick that is in neither is read from NVMe while the MoE kernel waits (exact decode miss path, EXL3_EXACT_MISS), so no expert pick is ever masked; VRAM evictions are not written back (EXL3_NVTIER_NO_VICTIM). The n-gram (engram) table is read from NVMe. NEXTN MTP 3 steps / 4 draft tokens (the MTP layer's 512 experts stay pinned in the RAM tier). Context 262,144 tokens with a 270,336-token fp8 KV cache; vision (images). Measured on omarchy (EPYC 7443P, PCIe 4.0 x16, md RAID0 of 4x Samsung 9100 PRO, xfs): container-held RAM (anon + shmem PSS) peak 24.4 GB while serving; local-ai-recipe-kit sweep prefill 1,056-1,076 tok/s from 8K to 64K, decode 32.9-33.3 tok/s aggregate at 1-4 users, C1 at 32K 35.4; reference panel top-1 0.9887, KL 0.00121; needle 233,529 tokens pass. The container limit leaves headroom for the shutdown path.
