A step-by-step guide to running Qwen3-Coder-Next (an 80B MoE model with ~3B active parameters) locally using llama.cpp, with a Node.js/Express proxy API and a React streaming chat frontend. Covers hardware requirements, quantization tiers (Q4_K_M through FP16), GPU layer offloading, context window tuning, prompt engineering for code generation, and troubleshooting common issues like OOM errors and garbled output. Note: the guide targets a model anticipated for 2026 and advises verifying all identifiers against official release docs.
