We ran a controlled inference-tuning matrix for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 on one NVIDIA GB10. Baseline: 197.5517 tok/s. After tuning, three consecutive c64x512 runs returned 774.5402, 779.0010, and 778.4611 tok/s. Mean: 777.3341 tok/s, 3.93x baseline.
That number applies to 99 to 114 prompt tokens. At 1,335 to 1,505 prompt tokens, the same configuration returns 521.4124 tok/s.
The benchmark contract
- Workload: c64x512 (64 concurrent, 512 completion tokens, 99 to 114 prompt tokens).
- Numerator: server-reported completion tokens from raw SSE usage.
- Denominator: full client wall time. No trimming.
- Distinctness: 64 distinct request hashes and content hashes per run.
- Repeatability: three consecutive runs within a 0.24s band.
Winning configuration
FP8 KV cache, FlashInfer attention, Marlin MoE backend
GPU util 0.6, seq64, batch32768
Prefix caching: disabled
