Superb Work

Thank you for this, it runs beautifully on my Strix Halo, with 262000 of context, on fedora 44. A huge improvement in speed over the original and with great results.

Prefill at depth is the standout. 452 t/s at 2k decaying to 234 t/s at 68k β€” roughly βˆ’3.3 t/s per 1k, and still faster at 68k than the Unsloth quant managed at 8.7k.
Slot selection by LCP similarity hit 0.957, 0.999, 0.991, 0.995, 0.985, 0.993 across the session; task 38 re-prefilled only 3,136 tokens against a ~70k context.
Across seven tasks all sitting between 77k and 91k depth, decode ranged 14.90 to 32.12 t/s

Tested Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-ROCmFP4-FAST-v2-ple16.gguf with a GMKTEC Evo-X2 (Ryzen AI MAX+ 395, 128 GB LPDDR5X) running Fedora 44 (kernel 6.14.whatever numbers make it the most current version as of September 2, 2026) using llama.cpp over Vulkan (RADV), and the results are incredible!

Running entirely within unified iGPU memory required two key adjustments for the Linux driver. Maybe very specific to my machine and operating system...

amdgpu.gttsize=126976 ttm.pages_limit=28311552 via GRUB to unlock >100GB addressable GTT space

GGML_VK_FORCE_MAX_ALLOCATION_SIZE=2147483648 (2GB chunks) at launch to eliminate radv: Not enough memory for command submission / ErrorDeviceLost panics

If there's a better way, I'm all ears. It's the only solution I got working.

Generation sits rock-solid at between 26 and 28 t/s, which matches the published benchmarks. I'm getting prefill speeds around 58 t/s.
Full multimodal support (--mmproj) works out of the box: OCR, document structure parsing, and visual reasoning, all great.

The depth of domain knowledge and physical reasoning on technical camera optics rivals frontier models. Writes beautiful Typst formats that allows my fine tuned and harnessed IBM Granite model to tweak to match my template structures quickly, translates Japanese to English and back with minimal need to edit (aside from personal taste) -- can't wait to continue building on this!

Fantastic work on these kernels and quantization tables! Looking forward to see more Strix Halo love from you!
