RustingStrata leads in RTX 3060 inference speed vs. PolyStrata, llama.cpp

A performance comparison of three different inference engines—RustingStrata, PolyStrata, and llama.cpp—was conducted on a single RTX 3060 12 GB GPU using the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model. RustingStrata demonstrated superior speed in both prompt processing and token generation, outperforming the other two engines in most tested scenarios. The benchmark highlighted differences in how each engine handles model quantization, multi-turn drafting, and specific hardware optimizations. AI
