Any 12gb VRAM users out there?

Hi!

I've been following this community for quite a while and have difficulty figuring out what to put on my 3080 12gb - I know Qwen 3.6 35B 3A was the go-to choice when it first came out, but I'm curious if there are any other models / specifically optimized models that meaningfully benefit from the extra 4gb of VRAM over 8gb while still being usable under 16gb.

My workflow is agent heavy, but more for a personal secretary and manager, and less coding heavy.

Thanks!
