Running Qwen 3.8 27B on RTX 5060 Ti: 73K Context, Built API with 3 Prompts
chiribe · reddit · 2026-08-17
The author shares an optimal llama.cpp configuration for running Qwen 3.8 27B on an RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) with a 73K context window. By enabling Native MTP (speculative decoding) and specific KV Cache quantization (q41), they tested the model with agentic coding workflows. Using OpenCode, the model autonomously built a complete REST API and MCP Server for a legacy forum in 2 hours, processing over 1M tokens with just 3 prompts. The post includes detailed specs, sampling parameters, and the full configuration INI file.
