A user successfully runs the Qwen 3.8 27B model at Q4 precision on a 16GB RTX 5070Ti, achieving 50 tokens per second with a 200K context window. The setup uses Unsloth's UD-IQ4_XS GGUF quantization and a custom ASCII-pruned variant to reduce memory usage. The pruning was applied to the embedding table and LM head, saving approximately 700MB, as the model primarily processes English text and code.
