From many candidates to three profiles: Qwen3.8-27B with MTP and DFlash2

From many candidates to three profiles: Qwen3.8-27B with MTP and DFlash2

On one RTX 4090, MTP and DFlash2 profiles were eliminated stage by stage. The result is not one universal winner, but a 120K MTP default, a fast 90K DFlash2 text specialist, and a verified 90K MTP vision profile.

Four conditions, one task: what speculative decoding and your agent tool actually cost

Four conditions solved the identical task in the identical repository and every one scored 99 or 100 out of 100. Net task time — with approval waits and automatic context compaction excluded from every measurement — ranged from 11:45 for the cloud run through DSH standard mode to 54:48 for the local model with speculative decoding off.

Coding agent benchmark: how much the runtime layer changes the result

Four coding-agent runs changed the same repository and passed their targeted tests. Wall time still ranged from 6:04 to 13:57 because model, harness, cache and review acted together.
