@Zai_org What the heck!? How is this possible? Will have my agent check it for reasoning levels but if true - you got my business.

🤯 A localmaxxer hit ~381 tok/s on a SINGLE RTX 3090 with Qwen3.8-27B. This developer has turned a 24GB RTX 3090 into a monster Qwen inference box - w/some creativity. Four days ago 👉 ⚡ ~82 tok/s single-user Then 👉 ⚡ ~114 tok/s with optimized MTP ⚡ ~138 tok/s with DFlash2 + lookup drafting Now 👉 🔥 ~381 tok/s on ONE request How? The recipe combines ... 🧠 Qwen3.8-27B 🎮 1× RTX 3090 24GB @ 250W ⚙️ heavily optimized vLLM ⚡ DFlash2 speculative decoding 🔎 lookup-augmented drafting 📚 prefix caching 🧮 16-token verification blocks 💾 quantized KV / heads / activations DFlash2 normally proposes 7 tokens. The developer realized the verification block doesn't have to stop there. If Qwen is answering from a document already sitting in the prompt, the system can fill the remaining draft positions using tokens found directly in that context. 🎯 So the target model can verify 16 tokens at once. On a ~25K-token document reproduction task: Previous DFlash2 👉 ~260 tok/s Longer verification + context lookup 👉 🔥 ~382 tok/s Acceptance: 🤯 15 of 16 tokens per verification step That is where the crazy number comes from. ⚠️ On ordinary real-world chat prompts, the same setup is around ~133 tok/s Still extremely fast for a dense 27B model on an RTX 3090. The 381 tok/s mode shines when the answer largely comes from material already in context so these are best use cases 📚 RAG / document Q&A 💻 Coding assistants applying edits 📝 Quoting or rewriting documents 🔎 Extracting information from long prompts And another optimization 👉 With prefix caching, a second question against the same 25K-token document reportedly goes from: 🐌 22.4 sec TTFT → ⚡ 0.56 sec TTFT Because the model doesn't need to process the whole document again. 🎯 It's specifically a mode for RAG front ends and coding agents.

Qwen3.8 Flash Next is starting to look ridiculous on Apple Silicon. I’m running the 4-bit MTP build locally on an M3 Ultra Studio, and the latest OMP run hit: 97.1 tok/s decode 23K context ~1,131 tok/s uncached prompt processing That first number is the one that caught my attention. Nearly 100 tokens per second from a local Qwen3.8 Flash Next setup is already fast enough that the usual “local models are slow” argument starts feeling pretty outdated. And the prompt processing speed is even crazier. Over 1,100 tok/s on an uncached prompt means the model can chew through a large amount of context before generation even starts. The setup matters here. This isn’t just Qwen3.8 Flash Next running untouched. It’s a 4-bit quantized build with MTP, and the inference stack is clearly doing a lot of work behind the scenes to make the hardware perform like this. There’s already a PR open for the implementation on oMLX, so this isn’t just a one-off local experiment either. If these optimizations make their way into the broader MLX ecosystem, running large models locally on Apple Silicon gets even more interesting. The other thing I like about numbers like this is that they put the focus back on the entire inference stack. Model size is one variable. Quantization is another. Then you have MTP, KV cache configuration, runtime optimizations and the hardware itself. Change the recipe and the same model can feel completely different. Qwen3.8 Flash Next at ~97 tok/s on an M3 Ultra is a pretty good demonstration of that.

Google's Gemma 4 26B A4B QAT hits 25+ tokens/sec and 320+ tokens/sec prefill on 8 GB VRAM (RTX 4060) + 16 GB RAM using TurboQuant Prefill just went from 200 → 320+ tok/s on the same 8GB card. 1.6x, no new hardware, no new quant, just a KV cache trick stacked on top of the Gemma 4 26B MoE setup from a few days ago. A few days ago I posted Gemma 4 26B A4B hitting 28 tok/s decode on 8GB VRAM using native MTP. prefill was stuck around 200 tok/s. fair callout by the community. So today I tested something I'd already been meaning to try: TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant, the TurboQuant KV cache fork by Tom Turney (Tom Turney). (github link in the comments) thanks to him, the fork just got resynced to mainline, so MTP + TurboQuant now run together cleanly (I didnt see any meaningful gains by using MTP with this setup though but you can try). The flags (No MTP): -m gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf -cnv -c 64000 --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v turbo3 Results on the same RTX 4060 8GB, tested with a 27k token prompt at 64k context loaded: Prefill: 200 tok/s → 320+ tok/s Decode: stayed above 25 tok/s (without MTP) Why it works: TurboQuant uses walsh hadamard rotation + polar quantization on the KV cache. keys are sensitive to compression, values aren't much, so it splits the difference: K stays at q8_0, V drops to turbo3 (~3 bits). bonus from the memory savings: same 8GB card can now stretch to 100-120k context with minimal decode penalty. It should now be snappier with any agent harness such as hermes agent without compromise on intelligence. If you're already running Gemma 4 on a small card, this stacks on top for free. Try --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v turbo3 on your setup and report back what your prefill/decode split looks like. unsloth model gguf and llama.cpp turboquant fork links in the comments. what's your prefill number before vs after?

"which quant should I download?" is a question you may never have to answer again the team Hamster Labs has figured out how to kill it with pMLX. download once at full precision (bf16) and the engine re-fits it to your machine on the fly, based on the job you give it tell it two things: how much context you need, and the slowest speed you'll accept. it reads your mac and picks the quantization plus how many experts stay in ram vs. stream from disk. no need to download a smaller quant or figure out which quant fits your hardware. same model for every use case and the config changes based on what you need I ran this on my own M4 Max and Qwen3.8-Flash-Next splits into two configs. short context, under 32k: full bf16, ~85% of experts in ram, fast at full precision since it fits my ram long context, 64k to 256k: keep ~70% bf16 and stream the rest from SSD at 22 tok/s, or drop to q8 and get 40 tok/s. I pick per task and the model itself never changes. there are many possibilities since I have the ram to spar - if i need speed, Q4 100% resident (74gb ram @ 62 tok/s) - if i need balance, Q8 95% resident (76gb @ 38 tok/s) - if i need accuracy, bf16 70% resident (96gb @ 16 tok/s) given whatever RAM you have (16/32/64/128/256 GB) + your context + your min speed, the engine picks the precision (bf16→q8→q4) and the expert-residency/paging split that fits your box and maximizes quality & speed last thing to optimize is speed. there are so many things we want to power with open models at Hamster and these 180b-300b class models have the potential to play a big role in that

The VRAM barrier is officially dead. I just ran Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (MoE) 125B A6B with a 250,000 context window on a single 24GB RTX 4090. 21 tokens/sec decode. 364 t/s prefill. no mtp. no dflash. no kv cache quantization! We are running datacenter models on consumer hardware. Tested on Ubuntu 22 | CUDA 13.0 | PCIe 4.0 x16 | 110 GB DDR4 System RAM with a continuous 28k prompt across all runs. ### The Benchmarks & Scaling # 1. Hybrid Offload (-ncmoe 40 @ 80k Context) Offloaded 40 expert layers to the GPU, pushing VRAM to the ceiling. ./build/bin/llama-server -m Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-UD-Q4_K_XL-00001-of-00004.gguf -c 80000 --port 8080 -v --fit off -b 4096 -ub 4096 -ncmoe 40 Prefill: 383.85 t/s | Decode: 22.52 t/s Footprint: 23.85 GB VRAM | 97 GB RAM # 2. Full CPU MoE Offload (-cmoe @ 80k Context) Pinned all 512 expert layers to DDR4 RAM (-cmoe), keeping attention on the 4090. llama.cpp flags: (Same as above, replace -ncmoe 40 with -cmoe) Prefill: 355.72 t/s | Decode: 20.84 t/s Footprint: 11.66 GB VRAM (12GB+ VRAM freed up!) | 110 GB RAM # 3. The 180,000 Context Run Prefill: 357.75 t/s | Decode: 20.98 t/s | VRAM: 15.6 GB | RAM: 110 GB # 4. The 250,000 Context Absolute Ceiling ./build/bin/llama-server -m Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-UD-Q4_K_XL-00001-of-00004.gguf -c 250000 --port 8080 -v --fit off -b 4096 -ub 4096 -cmoe Prefill: 364.29 t/s | Decode: 20.97 t/s Footprint: 18.3 GB VRAM (Still ~5.7 GB of VRAM headroom!) | 110 GB RAM ### Key Insights: -b 4096 -ub 4096: doubles the prompt ingestion from ~150 to 364+ t/s. -cmoe Free Lunch: Shifting expert layers to DDR4 RAM slashes VRAM from 24GB to 11.6GB with virtually zero decode penalty (22.5 -> 20.9 t/s), enabling the 250k context ceiling. Qwen 3.8 Flash-Next (UD-Q4_K_XL) is a massive 111.4 GB model split across 4 shards. To run this architecture, you must build from the experimental PR branch (#27742) by Daniel Han: git clone && cd llama.cpp git fetch origin pull/27742/head:qwen-next && git checkout qwen-next cmake -B build -DGGML_CUDA=ON -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=native -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF cmake --build build --config Release -j $(nproc) --target llama-server A single 4090 paired with 100 GB of cheap DDR4 RAM will comfortably serve production grade 125B inference. While Qwen 3.8 27B (dense) still holds the crown for single 3090/4090 rigs, Flash Next proves 125B hybrid models are officially viable on consumer hardware. Hugging Face GGUF link and complete performance telemetry graphs are dropped in the replies below. GLM 5.3 Flash VS Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, which one takes the open weights crown this week?

Deepseek V4 Flash 0731 (Q2) - 12 tokens/sec - Single RTX 4090 - 650+ tokens/sec prefill - 250k context - no kv cache quantization! DeepSeek just dropped the official V4 Flash 0731 two days ago with a massive agent capabilities upgrade. The official benchmarks are literally crushing their own V4-Pro-Preview on agentic tasks like Terminal Bench 2.1 and DeepSWE. Unsloth AI said they couldn't wait to bring it to local devices, and they delivered. If you thought my 118B Poolside Laguna S 2.1 MoE run last week on a single GPU was wild, hold onto your hardware. I just successfully ran Unsloth’s brand new 91GB DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 (UD-IQ2_M) GGUF entirely locally. And I pushed it to a mind-bending 250,000 context window. The VRAM ceiling is an illusion if you know how to optimize llama.cpp. Here are the benchmarks and the cheat codes to run a local frontier class model yourself. For the hardware and setup, I used a single NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM) hooked up via a PCIe 4 bus, running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and CUDA 13.0. You don't need a massive enterprise server for this, if you have more than 80 GB of standard DDR4 RAM and a 24GB card like an RTX 3090 or 4090, you can run this exact stack yourself. All benchmarks were run using a massive 28k token prompt to truly stress test the prefill limits. no kv cache quantization THE BENCHMARKS (Scaling Context): # 80k Context (Baseline: -b 2048 -ub 2048): Prefill: 465.43 t/s | Decode: 13.00 t/s | VRAM: 22.87 GB # 80k Context (Optimized: -b 4096 -ub 4096): Prefill: 643.15 t/s | Decode: 12.20 t/s | VRAM: 23.00 GB (Notice how doubling the batch flags spiked my prefill throughput by nearly 200 t/s with almost zero VRAM penalty) # 180k Context (-b 4096 -ub 4096): Prefill: 629.18 t/s | Decode: 11.92 t/s | VRAM: 23.40 GB # 250k Context MAXIMUM (-b 4096 -ub 4096): Prefill: 619.02 t/s | Decode: 11.54 t/s | VRAM: 23.40 GB # THE SECRET SAUCE (Why this works): Unsloth’s UD-IQ2_M quant is ~91GB across 3 files. Since I only have 24GB of VRAM, the PCIe 4 bus and system RAM have to do the heavy lifting. The magic bullet is the --no-mmap flag. By completely bypassing OS disk paging, I forced llama.cpp to load the massive model weights directly into the system RAM upfront. Combined with Flash Attention (-fa on) and exactly 12 CPU threads (--threads 12), I maintained an incredibly stable 11.5+ tokens/sec decode speed even at a quarter million token context. # THE EXACT COMMAND: ./build/bin/llama-server -m /workspace/models/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-UD-IQ2_M-00001-of-00003.gguf -c 250000 -fa on --port 8080 --threads 12 -b 4096 -ub 4096 --no-mmap -v Local conversational and agentic coding AI is fully here. You don’t need an API or an H100 cluster. Qwen 3.8 27b drops next week making the 24GB VRAM tier even more worthwhile. What does your current local AI rig look like, and what's the craziest model you've managed to squeeze into it? Official huggingface GGUF links from Unsloth and performance graphs are dropped in the replies below!

🚨 WARNING: TOMORROW WILL BE THE BIGGEST MARKET CRASH OF 2026!! OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI just called for an AI slowdown. But China is NOT slowing down. AI stocks now account for 62% of the S&P 500’s market cap. When the market opens on Monday, this won’t be “just a dip.” The biggest AI stock crashes so far have all been triggered by China. In the past, whenever China released a cheaper AI model, AI stocks crashed hard. Investors immediately questioned whether U.S. companies were overspending billions on chips and infrastructure they didn't need. But this time is different. It's MUCH WORSE. The people building the technology are now the ones warning that AI development itself needs to slow down. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AI is improving itself faster than anyone can safely control, and companies need to deliberately slow down. Sam Altman has agreed and committed OpenAI to the same approach. OpenAI's own chief scientist has admitted that no lab has solved AI safety well enough to keep scaling at full speed. Elon Musk is slowing down as well. Meanwhile, China doesn't care and will keep improving its models. And that's where the real risk begins: The five biggest tech companies are pouring roughly $700 BILLION into AI infrastructure this year alone. All of it is based on one massive assumption: AI capabilities will continue accelerating fast enough to justify that spending. But if the people running these AI labs are deliberately slowing development down... The payoff gets pushed years further out. While the spending keeps climbing. And regulators are moving in at the same time. Lawmakers are pushing mandatory safety audits and reporting requirements for the biggest AI labs. Multiple researchers who recently left OpenAI and Anthropic are publicly warning that AI is genuinely dangerous. This creates THREE separate threats hitting the same trade at once: → AI builders are calling for a slowdown → Regulators are closing in → AI spending keeps climbing regardless The AI boom has NEVER faced all three at once. And tomorrow, people will find out what happens when they collide. Pay attention and remember: I publicly called the 2022 stock market crash. Then I publicly called Bitcoin's $126K top in 2025. And I'm warning you now. The next market call will be posted here first. Follow and turn notifications on.
