RustingStrata vs. llama.cpp: Performance Benchmarks for Qwen Models

A performance comparison between RustingStrata and llama.cpp for various Qwen models reveals that llama.cpp generally offers faster prefill speeds for smaller models. However, as model size exceeds available VRAM, RustingStrata demonstrates superior performance, achieving up to 1.5x faster prefill and up to 2x faster decode speeds on larger models. The benchmarks were conducted on a PC with an RTX 3060 12 GB GPU, Ryzen 5 7600X CPU, and 32 GB RAM. AI
