I have a MacBook Air M2 with 24 GB RAM and I run these two Qwen model variations successfully. Try them yourself:

So far just testing them for fun in LM Studio. I'm not a coder, so I'm testing them more on logic and language tasks.
But yes, I do have a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with 96 GB RAM where I run the less quantised versions of these for higher quality results: * https://huggingface.co/Youssofal/Qwen3.8-27B-MTPLX-Optimized... * https://huggingface.co/mlx-works/Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B-oQ4e-mtp
