Fine-tuning: adapting a model to your data with LoRA and QLoRA

When prompts and RAG aren't enough: you adapt the model's weights to your data. LoRA, QLoRA, dataset preparation, and local tools (LLaMA-Factory, Unsloth, MLX) on a single consumer GPU.

Nemotron 3.5 Bolt: NVIDIA's 74B MoE with ~9B active — what changes on your desktop

74B parameters, 9B active: NVIDIA's MoE for local agentic work fits 24GB of VRAM via IQ2 quantization. Real VRAM, declared benchmarks, and honest limits.

Ling 3.1 Flash: 560B open-weight with MIT license and 1M context — what changes if you have 24GB of VRAM

Ling 3.1 Flash ships 560B open-weight parameters under an MIT license with 1M context. It won't fit in 24GB of VRAM, but the quantizations, 25B active MoE and the real numbers change the calculation.

Bonsai-2 27B

Models

27B reasoning model with ternary weights at 1.72 bits per weight, derived from Qwen3.8-27B with hybrid attention (~75% linear). In GGUF PTQ1_0 it takes 5.95 GB, retains 98.2% of the FP16 intelligence and reaches ~47 tok/s on an Apple M5 Max laptop, with a 262K-token context. Apache 2.0 license. Requires Prism ML's llama.cpp fork (ternary kernels are not in stock llama.cpp).
