    Nice but it would be also great to include strata and llamacpp to the benchmark. Otherwise it’s 11x speedup over the baseline no one uses

      Good point! I used hugging face as a fixed baseline for the hill climb so I could measure what each change bought! Also at some point I switched to AlphaEvolve style work to see how can i do that and then I recorded the process.

    That's cool, but what are you doing that you want to run qwen3.6-35b-a3b, over qwen3.8-flash.next, which runs great on a 4090

      This was a personal project just wanted to see how I can do speed ups and track the process of it! It was more of a project to learn how to systematically do speedup rather than the final results!

        Good enough reason :)

        Do you think the engine could handle Q38FN?

      That would have to be more heavily quantized right? It's a 128bn vs 35bn? How much does that affect it?

      • kennywinker 4 hours ago ago

        You can run flash-next on a 4090 at a 4bit quantization, which is by most accounts close enough.

        It looks like OP is starting with the bf16 unquantized qwen3.6-35b-a3b, but I couldn't tell if they are quantizing it down from there or not.

        I kept the 35B fixed for the hill climb to see how much runtime changes each change.
