I ran Qwen3.8 27B on single 8GB Card! (Better than expected)

Can you really run a 27 Billion parameter model on a budget GPU? The newly released Qwen 3.8 27B is crushing benchmarks—even beating Claude Opus 4.6 in agentic coding tests—but most recommend at least 24GB of VRAM to run it. In this video, I’ll show you what if we squeeze Qwen 3.8 27B onto a single 8GB RTX 4060. Optimizing the unsloth IQ4_XS quant, and setting up the lightweight Pi agent harness. Then compare the result directly against Claude Opus 4.6. Follow me on X: https://x.com/redStapler_twit 0:00 - Intro 0:34 - Qwen 3.8 27B Benchmark 1:08 - Model Config and Harness 2:31 - Testing and Tr
