I'm enjoying this ngl. :-) Alibaba_Qwen did themselves proud--top marks!
Qwen3-30B-A3B, a MoE 30B - with only 3B active at any one time I presume? - 4bit MLX in lmstudio, with speculative decoding via Qwen3-0.6B 8bit MLX, on an oldish M2 mbp first try delivered 24 tps(!!) -
24.29 tok/sec • 1953 tokens • 3.25s to first token • Stop reason: EOS Token Found • Accepted 1092/1953 draft tokens (55.9%)
Thank you to LMStudio, MLX and huggingface too. :-) After decades of not finding enough reasons for an MBP, suddenly ASI was it. And it's delivered beyond any expectations I had, already.
Did I mention I seem to have become NN PDP enthusiast, an AI maximalist? ;-) I thought them people over-excitable, if benevolent. Then the thought of trusting Trump-Putin on decisions like thermo-nuclear war ending us all, over ChatGPT and its reasoning offspring, converted me. AI is our only chance at existential salvation--ignore doom risk.
