Testing Qwen3.6-27 Q8: Nearly 100K Context on 32GB VRAM
BitGreen1270 · reddit · 2026-07-05
The author shares benchmark parameters for running the Qwen3.6-27B Q8 quantized model逼近 100K context on an Ubuntu headless server (5090+64GB RAM) using llama-server. Subjectively, Q8 performs better than Q6/Q5 at around 60K context. VRAM is further optimized using configurations like KV Q80 and -b/-ub. The author notes this isn't rigorous research, just experience from a personal vibe coding project, and the VRAM is near its limit.
