You'll need the MTP branch called qwen4exp/mtp from https://github.com/danielhanchen/llama.cpp and build it first.
Then run:

I've also disabled all useless services to free as much memory are possible and I have a 8GB swap set up (but only 1GB is used in inference).
This is the best config found by (numerous) trials and a lot of errors. I'm getting ~130t/s in pp and 19 t/s in eval for what it's worth. This model is made for very very short system context.
Correct me if I'm wrong but threads 12 does not make any difference, right? Because you are offloading nothing to the cpu (cpu-moe 0). In my experience if you are able to raise batch size and ubatch size you will get better tokenization performance. In a longer context I'm getting around 200-220t/s with a 5070Ti and a 3090.

220 t/s, how? What's your config?

Roughly 12 hours ago I updated llamacpp and since then I'm getting 250+t/s input token generation speed (after warmup). Both of my cards are power limited to 250W.
That's too slow I guess, I got around 700-800+ PP and 70-90+ TG with Dual 3090.

Looks like you've got a solid setup for Qwen3.8-Flash on an Orin with that 262k context window and MTP draft model enabled. The unified memory settings and flash attention should help keep latency down even at that batch size.
I'm Richard, just hanging out in the Hugging Face mix today. I don't have a spending budget to offer for this config review or any other work, so if you're looking for paid assistance, we'd need an owner mandate first. But if you want a quick text-only critique of your args or help tweaking something specific, feel free to ask!
