I run qwen 27b on an old-ass 16gb gpu. It’s very possible using unsloth 2bit and 3bit quants, tho there are a bunch of interesting quants that let you run closer to 4bit on 16gb. This article that’s currently also on the front page mentions a bunch of them while discussing their own quant https://byteshape.com/blogs/Qwen3.8-27B/
