Measured speed (generation tokens/sec)

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen3.8 Flash-Next | UD-Q4_K_XL (~111.3 GB), q8_0 KV | llama.cpp-multigpu fork 134489582, layer split | 45.9 | 1,249 @ ~5k-token prompt est. TTFT @8k ≈ 6.6 s (calculated from measured prefill) | context: 5k prompt (4,992 tokens), 1 slot; 41.9 tok/s at 50k📏 128 greedy generated tokens |
| Qwen3.8 Flash-Next | UD-Q4_K_XL (~111.3 GB), q8_0 KV | llama.cpp upstream df03399b8, layer split | 38.5 | 715 @ ~5k-token prompt est. TTFT @8k ≈ 11.5 s (calculated from measured prefill) | context: 5k prompt (4,992 tokens), 1 slot; 25.7 tok/s at 50k📏 128 greedy generated tokens |
Prompt processing = prefill speed (how fast the prompt is read) as reported by the source, with the prompt length it was measured at; blank = the source does not report it. est. TTFT @8k is calculated from the measured prefill speed (8,192 ÷ prefill tok/s), shown only when prefill was measured on a prompt of 512+ tokens. It is not a measurement and ignores load time and caching. measured TTFT is the source's own time-to-first-token. Why prefill matters for coding assistants.
README of the llama.cpp-multigpu fork (multigpu branch), measured by the author on 5 Oct 2026, comparing the patched fork with upstream llama.cpp on the same machine. The README also has a rented 6x RTX 4090 run (not listed here because it is a cloud machine).
