Qwen3.8 27B: oMLX vs Splash vs Ollama
Reproducible local benchmark on a MacBook Pro M4 Max with 64 GB unified memory.
Result in one sentence
For this workload, Ollama is the best overall backend: it wins most TTFT/decode comparisons and the concurrency tests. Splash is interesting specifically for cold long-context prefill, where it is faster than oMLX and slightly faster than Ollama at 32K tokens.
Scope
- Prompt lengths: 1K, 4K, 8K, 16K, 32K tokens
- Generation cap: 128 tokens
- Repetitions: 5 per cell, plus 1 warmup
- Scenarios: cold, warm incremental, warm repeat
- Concurrency: 1, 2, and 4 where applicable
- Backends were started and stopped between runs, with isolation checks
Artifacts
report.md: human-readable medians and metric definitionssummary.json: aggregated medians and p05/p95 values per cellresults.jsonl: raw successful request recordsmanifest-public.json: public run metadata without local filesystem paths
Models
These are related Qwen3.8 27B 4-bit artifacts, but they are not bit-identical weights or quantization formats:
| Backend | Model | Quantization |
|---|---|---|
| oMLX | Qwen3.8-27B-oQ4e-mtp |
oQ4e |
| Splash | incoai/Qwen3.8-27B-Splash |
Splash-4bit |
| Ollama | qwen3.8:27b-mlx |
nvfp4 |
Therefore this is a backend-plus-artifact comparison, not a controlled comparison of one identical model file.
Important caveats
- Splash and oMLX did not expose server-side prefill time through the tested OpenAI-compatible API, so their prefill columns are unavailable. Their client TTFT and decode measurements remain usable.
- Peak RSS is the sampled process-tree resident memory, not total Apple unified-memory or Metal allocation. Splash's low RSS values should not be interpreted as total model memory usage.
- The Ollama logs emitted an
invalid option provided option=thinkwarning. The benchmark followed the existingbench_ollama.pyrequest shape, but a formal rerun should remove or relocate that option before publication as a definitive comparison. - Splash's unload endpoint returned 404, although its server process was stopped and the isolation checks passed.
Overall verdict
The automatic verdict is Ollama, with 13 primary wins; Splash has 2; oMLX has 0. This does not disprove every performance claim made for Splash. It narrows the supported claim on this machine and workload: Splash appears valuable for cold, long-context prefill, but not as the fastest general-purpose backend in this three-way run.
