Qwen3.8-Flash-Next achieves 181 tokens/sec on dual DGX Spark cluster

A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA subreddit shared their success in achieving a high inference speed of 181 tokens per second using the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next model on a dual-node NVIDIA DGX Spark cluster. This impressive performance was attained by optimizing the model's configuration, including a 4-bit routed expert quantization with FP8 n-gram tables and a hybrid attention architecture. The user also detailed techniques for managing a large 512K context window, such as offloading parts of the model to NVMe storage and fine-tuning vLLM settings for efficient KV cache utilization and speculative decoding.
