I see! yes, downloading the weights part is painful. I tried a couple fixes and it is as fast as it can get downloading from HuggingFace. I think the field is heading toward smaller, more capable models soon, so you won't have to wait that long!
I mostly use Muse Glimmer, which runs quite well on my M1 Max as it is 30B but it also reasons very efficiently. I have tried the Qwen 3.8 27B which is also usable if quite slow to reason, but I guess like everyone the idea of the Flash-Next model holds some intrigue, because the 35B-A3B is pretty good.
