Qwen 3.6 35B model runs on consumer hardware with 32k context

A user on Reddit shared their experience running the Qwen 3.6 35B model on a consumer-grade setup, including an RTX 3080 GPU and 32GB of RAM. They achieved a throughput of 26 tokens/second for generation and 1400 tokens/second for processing at a 32k context length. While offloading the KV cache to the GPU boosted generation speed to 56 tokens/second, it limited the context window, which was not suitable for their agentic work involving deep research and document processing.
