User reports Qwen3.8-Flash-Next IQ3_S at 81.9 tok/s in calibration and 85.4 tok/s in chat on an RTX 5070 Ti 16GB with 64GB RAM. Setup is Strata with IQ3_S GGUF, int8 KV cache, 256K context, KV streaming with 32768 resident cells, and MTP speculation. The model is 125B-A6B with 46.84 GiB of experts loaded and an 84GB download. Two concurrent 256K slots exceeded a 58 GiB container limit during startup with and without batch MTP, and earlier unrestricted runs caused global OOMs and a host freeze. The user settled on one active request at 256K with KV streaming.

User benchmarks Qwen3.8-Flash-Next IQ3_XXS at 193.8 t/s generation and 4627.2 t/s prompt processing on an RTX 5090 with 128GB system RAM. Setup is Strata 0.1.40 with INT8 KV cache, 4096-token context, MTP speculation with --spec 4, and CPU expert-pool offload. The IQ3_XXS GGUF is 75.84 GB with 22.34 GiB of GPU expert cache. User compares three quants: IQ3_XXS (193.8 t/s at 4K), IQ3_S (161.0 t/s), and UD-IQ4_XS (116.3 t/s). Accuracy screening on 14 MMLU-Pro questions scored 12/14 for all three. IQ3_XXS had the highest median generation speed in the 4K test.

Setup is llama.cpp with IQ2_XS quant and a 68GB model file, run under a 6G cgroup memory limit; the model is streamed from NVMe SSD with no expert pruning and bit-exact output. Stock llama.cpp on the same machine gives 1.41-2.12 tok/s with 1,140-1,565 major page faults per token; warm cache runs reach 24+ tok/s, cold starts begin at 3.5-4.5 tok/s, and prompt processing remains slow.

User reports a 2.3bpw fusion of swift-1.5-uncensored and mirai's 2.5bpw model running on RTX 3080/3080 Ti cards at 65-70 t/s with MTP on evals. Setup is LlamAmpere with 4/4 KV cache, 12GB VRAM, and MTP enabled. The model retained 85% of BF16 performance on LiveCodeBench across 7 runs on 3060/3080/3080 Ti cards. The user notes the model is usable for standard agentic tasks and subjectively places it between BF16 versions of Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.6. The 3/3 and 3/2 KV cache variants support 205K and 230K context respectively at 11GB VRAM.

codingagentic

User reports running Qwen3.8 Flash-Next on a Strix Halo 128GB at 1600-1800 t/s prompt processing and 60 t/s generation for agentic work. The source discusses Halogen and Gufo with Q4_K_XL but does not unambiguously attribute this Flash-Next speed range to one engine/quant combination; structured engine and quantization are therefore unspecified. The 128GB is unified memory on the Framework Desktop, not additional discrete VRAM. A separate single CMP 170HX 64GB (unlocked from 8GB) runs two concurrent Qwen3.8 27B sessions with 200k bf16 context each, using DFlash 2 speculative decoding. Aggregate performance at low context is 2000 t/s prompt and 150-300 t/s generation. A 4-hour session with 7.2M tokens in and 1.1M tokens out averaged 1747 t/s prompt and 100 t/s generation aggregate across the two 27B sessions. The CMP 170HX sits on a USB4 eGPU dock limited to PCIe 2x4. The user dropped cloud usage entirely with this setup, which draws about 400W fully loaded and cost around $3000 total. Hardware attribution corrected: the Flash-Next figures above belong to the Strix Halo. Two concurrent 27B sessions on the separate CMP 170HX are not two GPUs; the author cancelled the second-card purchase. The CMP figures remain a separate workload and are not assigned to this Flash-Next report.

User reports Qwen3.8-27B Heretic (UD-IQ4_XS) at 55 tok/s on code and 50 tok/s on prose on an RTX 4080 16GB with MTP 2 draft tokens. Setup is llama.cpp b11457 with a 15K-token prompt, 32K context, MTP 2 drafts, mean of 3 fixed seeds. Without MTP the same config gives 29 tok/s on both code and prose. User notes 2 draft tokens beat 3 (68 vs 56 tok/s on code, 55 vs 36 on prose at 40K), 48K vs 40K produced identical tokens but was 22% slower, and VRAM spill from the desktop dropped code decode to 68, 51 or 42 tok/s depending on 1.2, 1.4 or 1.9 GB of shared VRAM. MTP head precision barely matters (q6_K vs IQ3_S: 83% vs 83% acceptance on code, 58% vs 54% on prose). The 12GB and 24GB context numbers are computed from llama.cpp buffers, not measured.

User compares Strata and Infernix running Qwen3.8-Flash-Next Uncensored on a single RTX 5090 32GB with 192GB system RAM on Windows 11. Infernix NVFP4 reaches 137.0 tok/s decode and 3,497 tok/s prefill at 512k context (YaRN 2), while Strata Q4_K_S gets 126.3 tok/s decode and 3,045 tok/s prefill at the same context. Setup uses int8 KV cache, MTP spec-4 with lm-head-draft, and a 52GB n-gram volume mmap'd from NVMe with 63.3 GiB of experts pinned in RAM. Decode was measured at roughly 39k effective context, with ±10-15 tok/s run noise. User reports Infernix is 23% faster at 262k and 9% faster at 512k, calls it the daily driver, and notes vision works on both engines.

User reports Qwen3.8 Flash-Next at 665 tok/s structured and 354 tok/s prose on an RTX 5090 + RTX 5060 Ti. Setup is Basalt, a Strata fork for Blackwell, with IQ3_XXS weights, 64k context, MTP enabled, 400 W, on a 9950X with 32GB DDR5 RAM. A single 5090 gives 585 struct and 316 prose, about 12% slower, with prefill unchanged. Concurrency of 8 streams totals 623 tok/s. IQ3_S prose is 300 tok/s at ~89% top-1 agreement.

User reports running Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, a 125B-A6B MoE, on a 128 GB M4 Max MacBook Pro with a new unofficial MLX engine called strata-mlx that reads Strata's GGUF files directly. Setup uses the model's built-in draft head for speculative decoding. The Q2_0 file is 66 GB and the IQ3_S file is 84 GB. On a Mac capped to 16 GB of memory the 66 GB file runs at 6-7 tokens/second, on a 24 GB machine at 19-23, and on a 32 GB machine at 28-47, with experts streamed from SSD. A 1,537-token prompt runs at 273-287 tokens/second in that mode. The user notes a 48 GB Mac holds the Q2_0 file whole and never touches the disk, and that speed is not guaranteed on smaller machines.

User reports Qwen3.8-27B at 140 tok/s on code generation on a single RTX 3090, using a custom CUDA megakernel that runs each speculative-decoding cycle in one launch. Setup is the megakernel with Q4_K_M weights and fp16 KV cache up to about 80k context, then q8. The same hardware with llama.cpp and MTP gives 73 tok/s on code, 56 tok/s on coding with a 4K-token file in context, and about 1,100 tok/s prefill. The megakernel is 1.4-1.9x faster than llama.cpp depending on task and context length, and is built for this model on 3090s only.

Figures come from a 13-request session with PI: 321,309 total prefill tokens, 292,209 cached (90.9% cache efficiency), so the prompt rate excludes cached tokens.

Setup is a vLLM main build newer than 0.27.1 with a custom NVFP4 checkpoint, DFlash2 drafter with 6 speculative tokens, fp8 KV cache, max model length 195,000 and GPU memory utilization 0.92. Two concurrent slots get roughly 255-299 t/s end to end. An earlier vLLM 0.27.1 setup with qwen3_5_mtp and 3 speculative tokens reached about 123 t/s at 8K and 90 t/s at 60K, with aggregate throughput rising from 67 t/s at one stream to 579 t/s at 16 streams. NVFP4 has a small quality cost versus GGUF Q4_K_M (q_avg 92.5 vs 93.2; HumanEval 89.6 vs 94.5). The GPU draws roughly 380-520 W under vLLM versus about 120 W with llama.cpp.
