Qwen3-8B-AWQ-INT4
INT4 quantization of Qwen/Qwen3-8B. Built to run on a single 12 GB+ consumer GPU.
Footprint
| Source params | 8B |
| Quantized weights | ~5.7 GB on disk |
| Inference VRAM (incl. KV cache @ 32K context) | ~10 GB |
Fits any 12 GB+ consumer card: RTX 3060 / 4060 / 4070 / 5070, even some integrated mobile GPUs with shared memory. No homelab needed.
