Oh, you wanna see my meath lab?
Epyc Rome 7532
128GB DDR4
Various NVMe totaling ~5TB of storage
4x AMD V620
All in an open air crypto-mining bench. No, this does not trip breakers, but it comes close.
Current stack is a LiteLLM frontend to vLLM (I’ll do a write-up on how I optimized vLLM soon), serving Qwen3.8-flash-next at int4 quant, with the n-gram table offloaded to system memory. Gets me ~70TPS of single-request inference and ~90TPS peak for 2-3 simultaneous streams. This is without MTP, because MTP is not reliably performant with multiple simultaneous requests being served. Still trying to figure that one out.
