Qwen3.8-27B LLM runs at 100 tokens/sec on RTX 4090

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user successfully ran the Qwen3.8-27B large language model on a single RTX 4090 GPU, achieving approximately 100 tokens per second. This was accomplished by using a specific configuration involving smaller weights, a quantized cache, and a DFlash2 draft model to manage memory constraints. The setup allowed for a local API to be used, enabling an agent to interact with the model for tasks requiring quick responses. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates feasibility of running advanced LLMs on consumer-grade hardware, potentially lowering barriers for local AI agent development.
