Summary
User reports Qwen3.8-Flash-Next running at 40-50 t/s for 10-15 minutes on an M5 Max via the Strata engine, with temperatures staying barely above idle.
Setup is Strata with an unspecified quant, running a JavaScript flocking simulation prompt through OpenCode.
The user compares this to running a 27B model via oMLX on the same M5 Max, where they had to manually set fans to 100% to manage heat, and asks why the Strata run stays cool.
