Can an RTX 4090 run Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct?
llm-speed has not measured Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct on RTX 4090 itself yet, so there is no llm-speed verdict. 2 community-submitted runs exist (fastest 232.5 tok/s at Q4_K_M on llama.cpp); community-submitted, not measured by llm-speed, so they give no verdict.
2 signed runs on llm-speed. Single-request decode speed in tokens per second; the short-chat workload unless noted. All 2 runs are community-submitted (signed on the submitter's own machine, not measured by llm-speed, and not used for llm-speed verdicts). Verdicts and headline numbers use only llm-speed's own runs and fit tests.
Measured tok/s by quant and runtime
| Quant | Runtime | Build | Decode tok/s (best run) | Workload | Runs | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | llama.cpp | commit df18bee | 232.5 | chat-short | 1 | Community-submitted |
| Q4_K_M | ollama | 0.31.1 | 145.2 | chat-short | 1 | Community-submitted |
llm-speed has not measured this pair itself, so there is no llm-speed verdict or fastest quant. The rows above are community-submitted, not measured by llm-speed.
VRAM: not recorded for these runs. The VRAM calculator gives an estimate (predicted, not measured).
