It was giving me some issues with memory and low context windows. What would be an inexpensive upgrade I could do to make this more feasible and would not cause issues on my PC when not running the local model? I currently can run Qwen3.8-27B-Q4 with a 50K context window. Is there a specific way I need to set up flash to run on my current specs? I know others with similar specs have got it working. My current PC specs are as follows\n\nCPU: Ryzen 7900X\n\nGPU: Radeon 7900XTX\n\nRAM: 96GB (2x 48GB) G-Skill Trident Z5 6400MHZ (usually 70-74GB of RAM is free at any time)\n\nWindows 11 (is there a way to compress its memory usage?)\n\nThanks", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/upgrade-additions-to-properly-run-local-models", "canonical_source": "https://forum.level1techs.com/t/upgrade-additions-to-properly-run-local-models/254651#post_1", "published_at": "2026-08-30 00:52:33+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-30 01:53:02.276265+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["large-language-models", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Qwen3.8-Flash", "DeepSeek Harness", "Ryzen 7900X", "Radeon 7900XTX", "G-Skill Trident Z5"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/upgrade-additions-to-properly-run-local-models", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/upgrade-additions-to-properly-run-local-models.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/upgrade-additions-to-properly-run-local-models.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/upgrade-additions-to-properly-run-local-models.jsonld"}}
