multilinguallong-contextvision

User reports Qwen3.8 27B at about 100 t/s on a single RTX 5090, but only about 82k tokens of usable context despite configuring 253,952. Setup is SGLang serving the Huihui-Abliterated NVFP4 MTP VL build with an fp8_e4m3 KV cache, NEXTN speculative decoding at 3 steps and 4 draft tokens, flashinfer attention, chunked prefill of 1024, and a 16 GB hierarchical cache. User asks how to tune the setup for more context without losing multimodal capability.

User reports Qwen3.8 Flash-Next at 90-100 t/s decode and 3000 t/s prefill on two RTX 5090s across two machines. Setup is llama.cpp with RPC over a ConnectX-5 100G link, using Unsloth Q2 quants. User sees little practical reason to use this over the 27B model and asks what others get with 2x 5090 in one machine or a 6000 Pro.

User reports Qwen3.8 27B at 173 to 179 t/s decode on an RTX 5090, with 0.79s first token at about 8K prompt and four concurrent workflows done in 8.15s. Setup is vLLM with NVFP4 weights, fp8 KV cache, 262,144 context, MTP speculative decoding with 3 tokens, PIECEWISE cudagraphs, and prefix caching. The same 27B family also runs on a Radeon AI PRO R9700 32GB via Radiance in MXFP4 at 71 to 73 t/s decode, and on the 5090 via ExLlamaV3 at 40 to 70 t/s decode and 600 to 1400 t/s prefill at full 262K depth.

User reports Qwen3.8 27B Huihui abliterated NVFP4 at 205 t/s decode on a single RTX 5090 32GB, with prefill around 9,000 t/s at 8K context. Setup is NInfer on Windows 11 + WSL2 with fp8 KV cache at 196,608 context, MTP speculative decoding with 3 draft tokens and --lm-head-draft, vision enabled, weights about 19.7 GB. Decode varies with MTP acceptance: 253 t/s on predictable text, 205 t/s on coding, about 120 t/s on creative prose, and 60-80 t/s with MTP off. At 128K context decode is about 115 t/s and prefill about 4,500 t/s.

User reports Qwen 3.8 Flash/Next 125B MoE at about 38.8 t/s decode and about 200 t/s prefill on an RTX 5090 with 64 GB of system RAM. Setup is ik_llama.cpp with the AP quant at Q4_K_M, using about 29.7 GiB of VRAM. User notes the run is slower and depends on system RAM bandwidth and CPU offload, and adds that Qwen 3.8 27B is extremely fast but weaker. User asks for advice on models and optimizations.

User runs a 186 GiB MoE model on 96 GB of VRAM, using host RAM for pinned experts, and reports 24.5 t/s decode at 8k context and 27.0 t/s at 0k. Prefill reaches 159 t/s at 27k. Host RAM is about 208 GB pinned, the CPU does no compute and only feeds experts, and transfers are NUMA-aware. The setup is NVIDIA SM120 only. Prefix caching with mid-prompt checkpoints cuts TTFT from 67.5s to 18.4s at 8k and from about 923s to 79s at 97k.

User reports Muse-Glimmer with dflash on an RTX 5090 at roughly 90-160 tok/s depending on the task. The user observes unusual reasoning traces that are disorganized, repetitive, and self-referential, using "we" and mentioning policy. The user compares the reasoning to Gemini models and contrasts it with Qwen 3.6, questions whether reasoning helps or hinders, and also tests a coding prompt for a Flappy Bird HTML game.
