The best combo I've found is running Qwen3.8-27B-MXFP4 (radiance) on 2x R9700 in DeepSeek Harness on a cloud VM with a search subscription. I have a Cloudflare tunnel from my home vLLM to DSH VM. Since the dense model has high intelligence but not breadth+depth of knowledge being close to the internet with subscription ensures fast searches that quicken loops. It's exceedingly hard to get API models with low latency for interactive design work and this setup works for me.
