A r/LocalLLaMA user shared quick throughput numbers for Gemma4 QAT with MTP speculative decoding on an RTX 3090 24GB setup. They report roughly 1.2-1.8x TPS improvement, with Gemma 4 31B moving from about 40 tok/s to 70-80 tok/s. The author frames this as a rough benchmark, using 11 task categories and noting stochastic variation from temp 1.0.
The open-source project club-3090 has rolled out experimental FP8 quantization support for Qwen3.6-27B. This update is highly anticipated by dual RTX 3090 users, allowing them to run the model with significantly reduced VRAM requirements. According to reports, the official Qwen3.6-27B-FP8 model performs virtually identically to the original unquantized BF16 version.
