Is this actually true? I want to see actual evals that match this up with Sonnet 4.5.

Not exactly, but pretty close: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/capabilities/coding?mod...

Somewhere between Haiku 4.5 and Sonnet 4.5

What kind of hardware does HN recommend or like to run these models?

It's less than you'd think. I'm using the 35B-A3B model on an A5000, which is something like a slightly faster 3080 with 24GB VRAM. I'm able to fit the entire Q4 model in memory with 128K context (and I think I would probably be able to do 256K since I still have like 4GB of VRAM free). The prompt processing is something like 1K tokens/second and generates around 100 tokens/second. Plenty fast for agentic use via Opencode.
