Qwen 3.8 Flash

Tested on our rig UD-Q6_K_XL llama.cpp 262K

llama.cpp Q6, 8 threads. Measured on our rig, 2026-10 — ~16 tok/s writing at 262K.

Launch

llama.cpp is the consumer default. Strata is the Flash try. Exact extra flags stay not recorded when marked.

Gates

Our checklist, in our words — not Sybil’s six-gate wording. Recipe-gate definitions live on methodology. Measured tok/s: How we test.

How we test — measured cells cite run cards; estimates stay labeled.

  • Loads on the named GPU Pass

    The process attaches to the discrete card (rocminfo / --list-devices agrees). We do not publish a time-limit SLA.

  • A reply finishes Pass

    Generate ends. The server does not hang mid-token. This is not a quality score.

  • Thinking channel (when the model has one) Not measured

    A distinct thought block and a final answer both appear. Not measured on our seeded recipes yet.

  • A tool call is used Not measured

    The server emits a tool call and consumes the result. Not measured on our seeded recipes yet.

  • Stated context actually ran Pass

    The run used the context we printed (262144 for the daily driver). We do not publish a planted-token recall score.

  • Decode recorded Pass

    tok/s at the stated context, sourced. No invented floor.

Host RAM
