Summary
User reports Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B decoding at 108.9 tok/s on an AMD MI50 32GB, 1.9x the llama.cpp baseline of 57.2 tok/s on the same GGUF and GPU.
Setup is a custom HIP engine with Q4_K weights and FP16 KV cache, short context of 273-529 tokens, model load 27.6 s, sclk 1725 MHz under load.
The engine reproduces llama.cpp's 8-token greedy continuation 8/8 teacher-forced and free-running; the MTP layer is not loaded.
