What hackers say

“on RTX 5090 I can now get ~200 tok/s and over 400 tok/s on concurrent requests which is plenty fast for a local model of this strength.”

Just a couple days ago I learned about ninfer ( https://github.com/Neroued/ninfer ) and on RTX 5090 I can now get ~200 tok/s and over 400 tok/s on concurrent requests which is plenty fast for a local model of this strength.

“Strongly recommend https://github.com/Neroued/ninfer , which can pull ~180 TPS on 5090 with 3.8, and 500 (!) with 3.6 35B-A3B.”

“https://github.com/Neroued/ninfer as inference engine gets me ~138 tokens/second, roughly double what I get with a naive llama.cpp setup.”

If anyone else is running this on an RTX 5090, https://github.com/Neroued/ninfer as inference engine gets me ~138 tokens/second, roughly double what I get with a naive llama.cpp setup.

“This is interesting, thanks.”

“If you've got RTX 5090, maybe try ninfer ( https://github.com/Neroued/ninfer ).”

If you've got RTX 5090, maybe try ninfer ( https://github.com/Neroued/ninfer ). Folks over on /r/localllama have been reporting wild prefill/token gen speeds with ninfer (NVFP4; 256k ctx).

Criticism

“kv caching is not perfect for ninfer”

Good 60-70 tg and 2K pp Qwen 3.8 27B FP8 can be had for about 5-6K (2xR9700 + PC) Gives about 3-4 concurrent sessions with full 262K Fast 150+ tg and 2-8K pp Qwen 3.8 27B nvfp4 is about 8K (5090 +PC) Gives really only one concurrent session that flies because kv caching is not perfect for ninfer https://github.com/Neroued/ninfer both are very serviceable, I prefer FP8 on 2xR9700 But, yes it doesn't scale that well but in 5 years the same hardware should still be very capable of running some great MoE models, for example Qwen 3.6 35BA3B on 5090 can fly at 600 tg

“And on my "own" "quick" benchmark, it's slower than vllm.”
