Large Qwen coding model for high-memory Mac and 24GB GPU setups. Architecture: dense transformer. Best for: quality stretch recommendations; larger coding tasks on 24GB GPU systems. Avoid if: memory is below 32GB; you prefer low latency over quality. Cloud fallback: Cloud remains better for long agentic runs when local speed is too slow. Hardware requirements start at 32GB RAM and 20GB VRAM, with 48GB RAM and 24GB VRAM recommended. Quant recommendations include Q4_K_M on Ollama. Runtime notes: Ollama: Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux; GPU acceleration depends on local driver support.. Setup commands: Ollama: ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:32b.
