A technical blog post details how to significantly increase the inference speed of the Qwen3.6-27B large language model on a single RTX 3090 GPU. By optimizing the inference engine, using a smaller model quantization, and implementing multi-token prediction (MTP) with speculative decoding, the throughput was boosted from 35.7 tokens/second to 80.2 tokens/second, a 2.25x improvement. The author found that MTP alone provided a 1.78x speedup, while the other optimizations contributed to the remaining gains. The post also notes specific technical hurdles encountered, such as compatibility issues with Ollama's GGUF format and the optimal settings for MTP. AI
