What the Qwen3.5-4B numbers mean
The fastest verified result on our board is 78.6 output tok/s on an RTX 3060 at Q4_K_M with a 32768-token context. That is about 12.7 ms per generated token — 500 tokens takes roughly 6.4 seconds. Prompt processing on the same record runs at 2111.9 tok/s, so a 2,000-token prompt is read in about 0.9 seconds. Peak VRAM was measured at 3.5 GB.
How much VRAM does Qwen3.5-4B need?
Qwen3.5-4B has 4.0B 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.
| Quantisation | Estimated VRAM | Smallest card that fits |
|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M (4-bit) | 3.4 GB | 8 GB |
| Q8_0 (8-bit) | 5.7 GB | 8 GB |
| FP16 (16-bit) | 10.0 GB | 12 GB |
