Qwen3.8 hits 255 tokens per second on one RTX 5090

Original: Running Qwen3.8 at 255 tok/s on a single 5090

A developer reports running the Qwen3.8 language model at 255 tokens per second on a single Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU. The result is drawing attention from AI enthusiasts interested in high-throughput local inference, as it shows consumer-grade hardware can serve small open-source models at speeds suitable for responsive, real-time applications without data-centre equipment.

Why now: Local AI inference performance on consumer hardware is a popular topic, and this speed figure is notably high for a single GPU.
