Why this quantSame unsloth NVFP4 checkpoint as the conc-32 headline — only --max-num-seqs differs. Fills the c1→c8 gap in the concurrency curve, and the non-speculative baseline for the conc-2 MTP config.

Notes

20.1 tok/s at conc-2 — 1.80× the single stream for 2× the batch.

  • Result (conc 2): prefill 40.41 / decode 20.11 tok/s; TTFT median 301.1 ms, TPOT median 96.3 ms. 80/1000, 0 errors, hit the 900 s cap. Load 344 s.
  • Scaling from c1: 11.16 → 20.11 tok/s (1.80× for 2× the batch) while per-stream TPOT slips 88.5 → 96.3 ms (+8.8%). Cheapest doubling on the whole curve — two users cost almost nothing relative to one.
  • TTFT rises faster than TPOT (177.1 → 301.1 ms, +70%): with two streams a request routinely waits behind a peer’s prefill chunk, and prefill is the serialized part. Decode interleaves; prefill queues.
  • Memory 103.1 GB, the low end of the sweep’s 103–107 GB band, which is measurement noise on the gpu-memory-utilization reservation rather than a concurrency effect — see the conc-32 base for the resident breakdown.
  • Full base-vs-MTP curve on conc-2 + MTP.
  • Served text-only (mm_served: false), ctx 65536, consistent with the rest of the sweep.
