HyperQwen stack hits 118 tok/s on RTX 3090, but high-perf mode crashes

A developer tested the HyperQwen stack on a single RTX 3090, achieving 118 tokens/second for chat and 237 tokens/second for verbatim context quoting. This performance significantly surpasses the 42 tokens/second baseline achieved with llama.cpp on the same model and hardware. However, the higher performance mode, which claims up to 381 tokens/second, crashed when attempting to process large context sizes, indicating instability in the speculative decoding implementation. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates achievable inference speeds on consumer GPUs, but highlights instability in advanced speculative decoding techniques.

    I put the 381 tok/s Qwen stack on one RTX 3090, real chat does 118 and the headline mode crashes

    <p>A post went around earlier this month, 82 to 381 tok/s on a single RTX 3090 running a 27B model. I have that card and it's never idle, a coder model lives on it for my agent sessions, so I installed the stack and measured it on my own bench. Twice, because the first attempt di…
