Background & analysis
According to a single Reddit LocalLLaMA post (2026-11-09), a user benchmarked Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 125B in the ISTA-DASLab quantized GSQ-RCO IQ3_XXS format (76GB on disk), through the MoEShift backend, on two Macs with 24GB unified memory: one M4 Pro and one M5 Pro. Reported results, as medians of three runs, were as follows. For a short-prompt decode with 72 input tokens, the M4 Pro reached 9.84 tok/s and the M5 Pro 14.69 tokens per second. For a long-prompt prefill with 6,060 input tokens, the M4 Pro reached 199.09 tok/s versus 374.15 tokens per second on the M5 Pro. For a long-prompt decode with 512 output tokens, the figures were 9.57 tok/s on the M4 Pro and 13.14 tokens per second on newer chip. Total end-to-end long-prompt latency dropped from 83.9s on the M4 Pro to 51.

These results indicate the M5 Pro is roughly 1.5x to 1.9x faster, with the largest gains in prefill.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
