Ling-3.0-flash Quantization Benchmarks: MoE Architecture Preserves Decode Speed
AcanthisittaOk1699 · reddit · 2026-08-12
A community developer shared benchmark results for the Ling-3.0-flash quantization ladder (124B total params, 5.1B active) on a single DGX Spark.
- Performance: Across the Q5KM to Q6K quantization ladder, single-stream decode speeds consistently fall between 32 and 40 tok/s. Q5KM is the fastest (40.2 tok/s) and near-lossless.
- MoE Advantage: Because the model only activates a tiny fraction of params per token, dropping bit width barely impacts decode speed. This is a stark contrast to dense models, where lower bit width usually trades off for throughput.
- Comparisons: For scale on the same hardware, DeepSeek V4 Flash measured 16.5 tok/s, making the Q5 Ling-3.0-flash roughly 2.4x faster.
