In my private C coding benchmark, Strata's Qwen Flash Next Coder IQ1_M beats Luna low and runs at 125 tok/s on my 5090

Not as fast for me. I was able to snatch a spark before the horrible price hike, and I have it at 40/50tok/sec. Before I had the great 3090 setup which is what led me to get the spark. That 3090 is now relegated to creating videos of my kids doing dumb things.

I now backordered two more sparks, before the hike... hoping they will honor the agreed price and dont cancel on me. They should arrive in a month,

Its evidently clear the frontier labs won't keep on giving us cheap inference for much longer. I also watch in disbelief how people say a sub is cheaper, which probably is. But you loose on so many other things (privacy, predictability, censorship...)

I pray for the flood of CXMT high speed memory and Huawei accelerator chips
