NVFP4 (GGUF)

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.

User benchmarks a new NVFP4 quant of Qwen3.8 27B on an RTX 5090. The quant includes a quantized MTP draft head. User reports it is 50% faster than a Q4 quant and 4-7% faster than other NVFP4 quants.

User reports inconsistent output from local models Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.6 35B A3B compared to frontier models, for a dictation and SOAP scribe. Setup is a Core Ultra 9 with 128 GB RAM and an RTX 5090, running Proxmox with AnythingLLM and Ollama on llama.cpp. The system prompt is a 25-30k token markdown file.
