Install Ollama for your OS. Check the model and its quantization before downloading. Start with 4096 tokens of context, then check placement with ollama ps. A command below is not proof that a test was run on your machine.

02Required memory

Approximate GPU VRAM required to run this model, including 4k tokens of context overhead. For a longer context, add ~1 GB per 8k-token increment.

What hardware do you need for Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B?

To run Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B locally with Q4 quantization, you need about 240 GB of VRAM. An option to compare: BOSGAME M5 128GB / 2TB (Ryzen AI Max+ 395) — this model exceeds this mini-PC's GPU capacity: choose a smaller model or suitable infrastructure.

03Expected speed

Tokens generated per second in Q4_K_M, 4k context. Beyond 20 t/s, reading is comfortable. Below 10 t/s, that's just for testing.
