Run Qwen3 at 50 tok/s Locally on RTX 5060 Ti

The author conducted local inference experiments on an RTX 5060 Ti (16GB VRAM), using custom CUDA and C++ code to push Qwen3-30B-A3B to 50–54 tok/s (float8).
- This speed is significantly faster than llama.cpp (approx. 33–34 tok/s), marking roughly a 50% improvement.
- The author attributes these speedups to a combination of SOTA techniques gleaned from NeurIPS, ICML, and EuroSys papers.
- The takeaway is that such engines unlock new local inference opportunities, giving consumer hardware an edge over centralized data centers in privacy, cost, and environmental sustainability.
