A user on Reddit shared a method for optimizing the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model on an RTX 3090 GPU. By offloading eight Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers to the CPU, they were able to free up VRAM. This allowed for an increase in batch size and micro-batch size, resulting in a 2.36x improvement in prompt processing speed while generation speed remained largely unchanged. AI
