@Axel_bitblaze69 What min server specs are required to run qwen locally?
English

i've been trying to automate my crypto research for months..
burned through probably $1500 in API costs learning what doesn't work
then qwen drops this today and i'm like... fuck
what i was doing:
paying claude API to monitor markets 24/7
checking whale wallets, price alerts, volume spikes, key events and unlocks, the whole thing
yes it did worked great but the problem is i was paying per query for stuff that should just... run
checking "did this wallet move?" 24 times a day adds up fast
but i need that monitoring. can't manually check wallets every hour.
what i tried:
switched to gemini thinking it'd be cheaper. got rate limited constantly.
tried chatgpt API. worked until i hit their usage limits mid-research.
tried mixing cheaper models for simple tasks. configuration nightmare.
the realization:
cloud APIs are designed to monetize every call
for simple monitoring, i'm paying premium prices for basic checks
then qwen dropped these models today:
0.8B, 2B, 4B, 9B
free. run locally. no API key. no per-call charges.
i'm reading the specs and it's clicking:
"4B model for lightweight agents"
"9B closing gap with larger models"
wait... i can run these on my laptop? for free? unlimited checks?
what this means for my setup:
whale monitoring: qwen 4B running locally, checking addresses constantly → $0/month
price alerts: 2B model fast enough for real-time checks → $0/month
basic research: 9B for pulling on-chain data, comparing metrics → $0/month
im testing it now.. downloaded the 4B model. running it locally.
set it to watch 5 wallets as a test.
response time is solid. checks every minute. no API cost.
if this scales to 20 wallets with no slowdown, i just saved $200+/month on monitoring alone.
the plan is migrate simple monitoring to local qwen models (2B/4B)
keep claude for complex strategy analysis and final content polish
basically, free local models for 80% of grunt work, paid API for 20% that needs premium intelligence
i'm sharing because i spent months burning money on cloud APIs for tasks that don't need premium models
qwen dropped the exact solution today
if you're automating anything repetitive (monitoring, alerts, basic research), test these local models first
might save you hundreds per month like it's about to save me
downloading the models now. will report back on how it actually performs at scale.

🚀 Introducing the Qwen 3.5 Small Model Series Qwen3.5-0.8B · Qwen3.5-2B · Qwen3.5-4B · Qwen3.5-9B ✨ More intelligence, less compute. These small models are built on the same Qwen3.5 foundation — native multimodal, improved architecture, scaled RL: • 0.8B / 2B → tiny, fast, great for edge device • 4B → a surprisingly strong multimodal base for lightweight agents • 9B → compact, but already closing the gap with much larger models And yes — we’re also releasing the Base models as well. We hope this better supports research, experimentation, and real-world industrial innovation. Hugging Face: huggingface.co/collections/Qw… ModelScope: modelscope.cn/collections/Qw…

@GordonGekko Sounds like the us is pissing its pants now and looking for an offramp

@JakeGagain Insane is you believe tracking devices can actually fit in a tooth filling lol
