What the Qwen3-0.6B numbers mean

The fastest verified result on our board is 956.4 output tok/s on an RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell at Q4_K_M with a 640-token context. That is about 1.0 ms per generated token — 500 tokens takes roughly 0.5 seconds. Prompt processing on the same record runs at 57064.9 tok/s, so a 2,000-token prompt is read in about 0.0 seconds. Peak VRAM was measured at 1.1 GB. Across the 2 records we hold for this model the range is 310.4–956.4 tok/s on 2 GPUs, because quantisation, context length and the engine build all move the number.

How much VRAM does Qwen3-0.6B need?

Qwen3-0.6B has 1.0B parameters. These estimates use the same formula as the VRAM calculator: weights, plus about 15% for a moderate-context KV cache and runtime overhead, plus a small engine floor.

Long contexts and large batches raise the real number — read the smallest card as "possible with a reduced context". Measured throughput is on the benchmark board.
