Any you like. I've had very nice results with llama.cpp w/ vulkan backend.
qwen3.8-ridge-gguf runs great in ollama on the 9070xt in 4bit kv cache quant at 35t/s. You can also run deepseek 4.1 flash in strata if you have time. both models are very capable.

If nothing else, one positive thing this might bring: killing these vibecoded emulators and recomps.
They're the only useful thing AI has done so far, so can we keep that but ban AI image and video generation instead?
