Complete newbie here - some questions, if I may!

This stuff can run on a local machine without internet access, correct?

And it can pretty much match Nano Banana? https://github.com/PicoTrex/Awesome-Nano-Banana-images/blob/...

Also -- what are the specs for a machine to run it (even if slowly!)

This model can be run completely offline, yes. You'll need anywhere from 60-200 gb of RAM (either VRAM for high speeds, or a combination of VRAM and RAM, or just CPU+RAM). The active params are really low (3B) so it'll likely run fine even on CPU. Should get 10-15+t/s even on old DDR4 systems. Offload some experts to a GPU (can be as low as 8-16gb) and you'll see greater speeds.

This has nothing to do with nano banana, or image generation. For that you want the qwen image edit[1] models.

what you mean is Qwen Image and Qwen Image Edit, you can run it on local machine, using Draw Things application for example.

the model discussed here is text model, so similar to ChatGPT. You can also run it on your local machine, but not yet, as apps need to be updated with Qwen 3 Next support (llama.cpp, Ollama, etc)

Yes.

No, Qwen3-Next is not a multimodal model, it has no image generation function.
