Reported by the source; GPU count, offloading and concurrent requests can change these figures. Prompt-processing speed is input throughput, not time to first token. Check the full setup before comparing.

visionagenticlong-context

User reports Qwen3.8-27B at 71.57 t/s decode on a single RTX 5080 16GB at 131,072 context. Setup is NInfer v1.3 with mixed Q3/Q4/Q5 groupwise quantization (~3.95 BPW), Q4 group64 KV cache, MTP-3 speculative decoding, and Vision enabled. The 118,001-token prompt prefilled at 1380.61 t/s with 44.74% MTP acceptance. A short 512-token request averaged 84.7 t/s decode, and a video test reached 97.1 t/s decode with 100% MTP acceptance.

User reports Qwen3.8-Flash-Next at around 100 t/s prefill and 18-20 t/s decode on 2x RTX 5080 with 128 GB DDR5. Setup is llama.cpp with the unsloth UD-Q5_K_XL GGUF, a Q8_0 KV cache, 262,144 context, MTP speculative decoding with a Q4_K_M draft model, and ncmoe42 offloading 42 MoE layers to CPU. User asks whether switching to vLLM or SGLang would give better performance, noting the scarcity of NVFP4/FP8 GGUF files.

Reported by the source; GPU count, offloading and concurrent requests can change these figures. Prompt-processing speed is shown only when the source reports it; generation speed cannot tell us time to first token. Check the full setup before comparing.

User reports Qwen3.8 27B at around 12 t/s on an RTX 5080 16GB at 49,152 context. Setup is llama.cpp with an NVFP4 GGUF, q4_0 K cache and iq4_nl V cache, flash attention on, 512 batch and ubatch, 16 threads. User is asking for pi.dev plugin suggestions for context, compaction and memory management, and is disappointed that compaction settings are kept separate from model settings.

User reports Qwen3.8-Flash-Next at 6 t/s on an RTX 5080 16GB with 64GB RAM, and finds it unusable. Setup is llama.cpp with offloading to CPU/RAM. The first attempt used the IQ3_XXS quant, the second the Q4_K_M quant at 4.27bpw AD.

coding

User reports a first tuning attempt with selective FFN offload to CPU improving speed over whole-layer offload. True Q4_K_M runs at 13.2 tok/s near 50-61K context. MTP is worse at deep context. Coding quality improved over IQ3.
