Qwen user distinguishes raw token speed from task completion time

AdInternational5848 compared Qwen 3.8 Flash Next and DeepSeekV4 Flash on a Mac Studio M1 Ultra (128GB). They reported that Qwen Flash Next seemed to take longer for end-to-end task completions than DeepSeekV4 Flash. In a reply, they clarified that Qwen demonstrated higher raw token speed and potentially double the prefill rate on their setup. They planned a more deterministic comparison of their own tasks; the post did not establish a fivefold speed difference.

In the repliespoofph reported that Flash Next could apply a fix in five minutes and then spend an hour testing it, and described using prompts to limit extra tests and verbosity. BeaveItToLeever used a modified DeepSeek Harness with medium and occasional extra-high effort, reporting higher Qwen throughput after tuning on a different setup. These were separate experiences, not a verified fix for the author's workflow.

Mac Studio M1 Ultra, 128GB. The author did not provide matched quantizations, runtime, reasoning effort, task logs or an exact DeepSeek revision. Token throughput and end-to-end task duration measure different things.

Python developer weighs a final review after Kimi–DeepSeek–GLM handoffs

inwardPersecution described approximately 15,000 lines of Python across 25 modules, written with self-described DeepSeek 4 Flash and GLM 5.3 Flash. The author said Kimi found issues in an earlier code and process review, then DeepSeek and GLM handled the fixes. Approaching long-term testing, the author asked whether to use Kimi again while concerned about recent spending and bloated context.

In the repliesPackageDecent3526 recommended Sonnet 5.5 for architectural intent and edge cases. Cyvster suggested Qwen, reporting that a local 9B model had found issues in DeepSeek-written code. These were individual recommendations rather than a comparison on the author’s repository.

Exact Kimi and Qwen versions, prompts, client, hardware and API plans were not provided. The reported fixes and code quality were not independently tested.

Local 2-bit Qwen coding report pairs high scores with incomplete runs

Constant-Exercise847 reported running IQ2_XS 2-bit Qwen 3.8 Flash Next through Strata on one Radeon AI PRO R9700 32 GB GPU plus 30 GB of system RAM, at about 93 tokens per second. The author compared 13 Claude Code-generated coding tasks under 500 lines across 195 runs using the same sandboxed agent and hidden-script grading. On the first 10 tasks, they reported 98.7/100 for local Qwen and 100 for hosted DeepSeek, Qwen, and HY4, with local completion averaging 41 seconds per task. RAM limits interrupted local runs; hosted Qwen, GLM, and HY4 also lacked the last two tasks. A 16K context-cap retest covered only seven tasks.

Reddit User Shares Qwen3.8-27B Run on Two RTX 3060s

Reddit user jacek2023 reported running a Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q4_K_M.gguf file with llama.cpp across two NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPUs while their four-RTX 3090 system was occupied. The command used tensor splitting, a 50,000-token context setting and draft-MTP options. Three short timing-log examples showed generation rates of about 50, 44.4 and 43.4 tokens per second, with prompt evaluation around 55, 198 and 45 tokens per second. The author said short context was the main limitation for a long agent session. These are the author’s logs from individual requests, not a standardized benchmark, and the setup was not independently reproduced.

In the repliesA single visible reply from commenter Glittering-Call8746 asked the author to test vLLM using tensor parallelism set to two. No author response was visible at review time.

The post documents one local GGUF inference configuration using llama.cpp. It does not report a vLLM run, repeated long-session measurements or a model-quality comparison.

Community Report: High-Volume Agent Delegation on Qwen 3.8 Next Flash

Reddit user mateszhun reports using about 25 million tokens of Qwen 3.8 Next Flash since its release and delegating medium-complexity tasks to subagents for research, planning, review, and testing. The author praised prompt adherence and described context compaction as a problem when tasks filled the context window; the account does not identify the hardware, runtime, or model build.

Show discussion detailsHide discussion details

In the repliesOne commenter reported exact JSON adherence problems in their own setup and speculated about quantization. They gave no runtime, hardware, or model-build details, so this is separate from the author’s context-compaction report.

Individual workflow report; the post does not establish a standardized benchmark. Hardware, serving engine, precise build, quantization, prompts and token-counting method are unspecified.

Single-user r/LocalLLaMA report posted September 18, 2026; approximately 25 million tokens are self-reported without public logs or a stated accounting method.

Developer Reports a 30-Day Local Qwen 3.8 Coding Run With Tool-Loop and Cache Issues

Reddit user Efficient-Part5344 reported running Unsloth Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q4_K_XL locally for 30 days, using it for daily small coding tasks, overnight runs of more than nine hours and some production services. On an RTX 5070 Ti plus RTX 4070 Super, the author reported 73.8 mean/95.1 peak generation tokens per second, 845.1 mean/1,729.5 peak prompt processing, and 0.48108 MTP acceptance (674/1,401). They also reported slow, token-heavy reasoning, looping tool calls and cache behavior that could trigger full prompt reprocessing.

In the repliesAfter a hardware question, the author identified a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and 32GB RAM, and said subagents can save the main context even without parallel serving. Other commenters welcomed the 30-day run or reported similar speeds, but did not reproduce the measurements.

Qwen Community Derivative Shows File-Handling Limits in Windows Tests

Author concentrate1 evaluated an unofficial community Qwen3.5-9B distillation (Q4_K_M) via LM Studio on a Windows RTX 5070 Ti (16GB). The author reported reliability issues across three runs per task: in an Obsidian YOLO workflow, it halted after fetch failures and missed multi-file instructions. In an OpenCode workflow, it stalled without nudging and introduced file path errors.

In the repliesEarlier commenters proposed a 3bpw Qwen3.8-27B, while noting that fitting VRAM does not guarantee speed. On September 13, windsing reported testing NeoHorse-1-4B, described as Qwen3.5-derived. PDF fetching exceeded its context; tool and subagent errors followed. With guidance on text extraction and a narrower reading request, it eventually produced a Chinese summary.

In the repliesSeveral participants prefer Opus 4.6, while another reports good essay writing with Gemini 3.8 Flash. Szou says even their preferred models still need manual editing to remove familiar AI phrasing.

Qwen, GLM or DeepSeek Flash for coding? Waiting time divides users

yooinsung asks which Flash model people choose for writing code in IDEs such as Qoder and Trae. Replies compare Qwen 3.8 Flash, GLM 5.3 Flash and DeepSeek V4 Flash on waiting time and instruction following.

In the repliesOne user finds DeepSeek fast for routine work but still prone to hallucinations. Others describe long thinking delays in Qwen or GLM. A GLM user reports better instruction following at the lowest thinking setting, showing why settings matter to the comparison.
