Yeah 27B is way too slow for the Strix Halo. Laguna was better but still slow when I tried it. Qwen3.6 35B is still the best today.
What sort of pp/tg speed do you get on a Strix Halo?
it'll hopefully improve with more MoE and half the prefill/generation. I think it's the sweet spot for the strix halo for smarter or vibe tasks.
Have you given Ornith-1.5-35B a shot?
It's been a pretty decent step up for me compared to Qwen3.6
