Really looking forward to this, 27B is a struggle with a strix halo and Laguna 2.1 can do stupid things for tooling calls.

Yeah 27B is way too slow for the Strix Halo. Laguna was better but still slow when I tried it. Qwen3.6 35B is still the best today.

Have you given Ornith-1.5-35B a shot?

It's been a pretty decent step up for me compared to Qwen3.6

I know it benchmarks very well. I haven't tried it yet though.

What sort of pp/tg speed do you get on a Strix Halo?

cpburns2009 2 hours ago | parent | next [-]

This is the best I got, all with Unsloth's quantizations.

Laguna-S-2.1:UD-Q4_K_XL (no MTP) pp=186.4 t/s tg=27.8 t/s

Qwen3.6-35B:UD-Q4_K_XL (with MTP) pp=404.4 t/s tg=83.2 t/s

Qwen3.6-27B:UD-Q4_K_XL (recorded pre-MTP) pp=343 t/s tg=12.1 t/s

Laguna actually performed better than I remembered. I thought it was slower.

What are pp/tg? I get 30t/s on 27B qwen.

pp is prompt processing how fast it processes the prompt. Tg is token generation how fast, it generates tokens.

it'll hopefully improve with more MoE and half the prefill/generation. I think it's the sweet spot for the strix halo for smarter or vibe tasks.

So, I know https://cactuscompute.com/needle is designed only to enable tool calling on tiny devices. But, I wonder if anyone has used it as a CPU-side mediator between a tool and a GPU-side local LLM making semi-natural-language tool requests...
