Dual-model literary translation pipeline achieves 2-3 books/day on Tesla P40s

A user has detailed a two-model pipeline for literary book translation, utilizing two Tesla P40 GPUs. The pipeline employs Gemma 4 - 26B-A4B for translation at approximately 40 tokens/second and Qwen3.6 35B-A3B for proofreading at 50-70 tokens/second. This setup leverages Multi Token Prediction (MTP) speculative decoding and a 64K context window to achieve efficient, high-volume translation of entire books. AI
