A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA shared benchmark results for the Qwen 3.6 27B model using VLLM. The tests compared performance across different quantization formats: BF16, FP8, and NVFP4. NVFP4 demonstrated the fastest token generation speed, approximately 2.6 times faster than BF16, due to reduced memory bandwidth requirements. FP8 showed superior prompt processing and prefill speed, outperforming BF16 by about 20%, as it leverages Tensor Core acceleration for compute-bound tasks. AI
