User seeks to boost local LLM speed on high-end laptop

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking advice on how to improve the inference speed of their local large language model setup. Despite having a laptop with a powerful RTX 5070 Ti GPU (12GB VRAM), 32GB RAM, and a high-end Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, they are only achieving 37 tokens per second with the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Q6_K_P model. They have experimented with various command-line arguments for llama.cpp, including different quantization levels and context sizes, but have not found significant improvements. AI
