The libstrix author shipped a one-command Docker image (vLLM fork + plugin + ROCm 10.1) for AMD Strix Halo, with tested compose recipes for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, Qwen3.8-27B, LFM2.5-24B-A2B and gemma-4 variants, plus a memory table showing weights vs KV cache at 131k context. Qwen3.8-Flash-Next required streaming its 102 GB n-gram table from disk and new kernels (int4 MoE GEMM, QSA sparse attention 1.5x Triton, QSA indexer). Real-text results: 1.6k tok/s prefill and 40-43 tok/s decode, up from 18, with KLD 0.008-0.019, 97-98% top-1 agreement and GSM8K 93 vs 92. Note: recent main-branch users should pull — int8 decode copies were over-enabled and could OOM non-target models.
