Running Qwen 3.6 27b Local AI on nVidia 1080ti?

From the creator

Let's be honest, the nVidia 1080ti is an ancient GPU. But in the current era of Turbo Quant, turns out we can run this model on two 1080ti's with decent enough performance for a basic agentic AI setup? In this video I cover how this is possible, whether it makes sense and remember a better time when GPU's didn't cost as much as used cars. Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
