why does everyone imply you need a $10k laptop which then starts burning when you run Qwen 3.6? Get any other system with enough VRAM for a third of the price. Framework Desktop (Strix Halo 128GB) still costs under 4k nowadays, is nearly silent even on 100% GPU + CPU. (also it gets only slightly 'warm', but with a desktop you don't care anyway, I guess).

But how will I signal my status to other people then?

On a serious note, I run my models on desktop pc, simple api and i can use them wherever whenever.
