A user on r/LocalLLaMA is documenting their attempts to train the Qwen 3.6 27B model locally, focusing on adapting it for diffusion tasks. While they have not yet achieved a fully trained model, they have encountered significant hardware challenges, including GPU VRAM limitations and power supply issues, leading to damaged hardware. The user is exploring techniques from papers like d3LLM and variational flow maps to improve diffusion speed and reduce computational requirements, aiming to make the model trainable on consumer-grade hardware like the RTX 5090.
