I see lots of people talking about running Qwen as a local model just curious what's the difference with say something like local deepseek?

Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (125B, 6B active) is minuscule compared to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (552B, 16B active) and GLM-5.3 (753B, 40B active). It's more difficult to run the latter 2 locally at usable speeds.

Qwen-3.8-flash-next hardware costs motorcycle level money, DeepSeek hardware starts at mid range car money.
