About This Model

Model Overview

Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-FP8 is an FP8-quantized version of the 30.5B parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model, featuring 128 experts with 8 active per forward pass and only 3.3B parameters activated at inference time. Built on the Qwen3 architecture with 48 layers and GQA (32 query heads, 4 key-value heads), it natively supports a 256K token context length (extendable to 1M with Yarn), making it well-suited for repository-scale code understanding. The model excels at agentic coding tasks, browser-use scenarios, and structured tool calling via OpenAI-compatible formats. This variant operates exclusively in non-thinking mode and uses fine-grained FP8 quantization with a block size of 128.

Performance Charts

Per-User Throughput Range

Per-user generation speed across context lengths. The top edge of each band shows single-user performance; the bottom edge shows performance at maximum tested concurrency.

Time to First Token Range

Time until the first token is generated. The bottom edge of each band shows single-user TTFT; the top edge shows TTFT at maximum tested concurrency. Lower is better for responsive user experience.

Capacity Planning

Capacity by Use Case

Maximum concurrent requests while maintaining acceptable user experience. Thresholds vary by use case. See individual reports for details.

Key Findings

Throughout this report, "concurrent requests" refers to simultaneous active requests. For applications with natural user pauses (chat interfaces, coding assistants), each request slot typically serves 4–5 active users.
Recommendations

Use Case Guidance

The table below maps this configuration's performance to common deployment scenarios. Capacity limits are where TTFT or generation speed falls below accepted thresholds for a comfortable user experience.

The limits shown are conservative. Beyond these points, the system continues functioning with slower response times that may still be acceptable for your specific use case.

Performance

System Throughput

Aggregate token generation across all concurrent requests. Measures output tokens only. Prompt tokens processed during prefill are excluded.

User Experience

Per-User Generation Speed

Token generation rate experienced by each individual user. This is the speed at which text streams into their response, also referred to as "decode speed" or "decode throughput." As concurrency increases, per-user speed decreases since GPU resources are shared across requests.

Latency

Time to First Token

Time from request submission to first response token. The primary metric for perceived responsiveness. TTFT has two components:

  • Queue wait: Time waiting for GPU availability (increases with concurrency)
  • Prefill: Time to process input context (increases with context length)

At low concurrency, prefill dominates. Under load, queue wait becomes the larger factor. See Queue Wait Times and Prefill Speed in Technical Analysis.

Important note about caching. These benchmarks use fresh context with no caching enabled, representing worst-case TTFT. In production with caching enabled, only new tokens require processing. For example, a 64K conversation where you add 1K of new context would have a TTFT similar to the 1K results above, not the 64K results. For most real-world use cases where context is built incrementally (chatbots, coding assistants, multi-turn agents), TTFT with caching enabled would be significantly faster than these results.
Capacity Planning

Capacity Analysis

How many concurrent requests can this configuration handle for different workloads? Each chart below shows performance metrics as concurrency increases at a specific context length. Dashed lines indicate quality thresholds, the point where user experience degrades below acceptable levels. The "capacity limit" is the tested or estimated point where the first threshold is reached.

Code Completion (1K Context)

Inline code suggestions in IDEs, like autocomplete. Responsiveness is critical. This test generates 128 output tokens per request (vs. 1024 elsewhere) to match typical autocomplete length. The key metric is end-to-end latency, not TTFT.

Threshold: End-to-end latency < 2,000ms

Short-form Chatbot (8K Context)

Quick conversational exchanges: customer support queries, simple Q&A, single-turn requests. 8K context accommodates a few back-and-forth messages plus system prompt. User expectations are more forgiving for these scenarios. 10+ tok/s is acceptable for reading streamed responses from a support chatbot.

Thresholds: TTFT < 10s, generation speed > 10 tok/s

General Chatbot (32K Context)

ChatGPT-style chatbot. If you're deploying a multi-turn conversational chatbot, this benchmark shows how many concurrent requests you can support while matching acceptable responsiveness. 32K context matches ChatGPT's limit.

Thresholds: TTFT < 8s, generation speed > 15 tok/s

Note about caching: Most chatbot users build context incrementally over a conversation. With caching properly configured, TTFT is dramatically reduced since only new tokens require processing. These results represent worst-case TTFT where all context is processed at once.

Long Document Processing (64K Context)

Summarizing reports, extracting data from contracts, analyzing lengthy documents. 64K tokens handles documents up to roughly 125-160 pages depending on formatting and density.

Users typically tolerate higher latency for document processing since they understand large inputs require more processing time. However, generation speed still needs to stay at or above reading speed.

Thresholds: TTFT < 12s, generation speed > 15 tok/s

Automated Coding Assistant (96K Context)

Agentic coding workloads: AI assistants that read large portions of a codebase to answer questions, refactor code, or implement features. 96K tokens handles roughly 8,000-9,000 lines of code, enough for significant repository context.

Agentic workflows chain multiple LLM calls (tool use, retrieval, iterative refinement). With caching properly configured, context persists between requests and only new tokens require processing, dramatically reducing TTFT for each step. These results represent worst-case TTFT where all context is processed at once.

Thresholds: TTFT < 12s, generation speed > 20 tok/s

Deep Dive

Technical Analysis

Infrastructure-level metrics that explain user-facing performance. Queue depth, prefill throughput, token generation latency, and scaling efficiency across load conditions. These help diagnose bottlenecks and validate infrastructure decisions.

Queue Wait Times

Time a request waits for GPU availability before processing begins. At low concurrency, queue wait is near zero. As load increases, requests queue and wait times grow.

Queue wait is included in TTFT. Breaking it out separately helps identify whether latency is caused by GPU saturation (high queue wait) or context processing (high prefill time).

Interpretation: Queue wait time and prefill time are measured independently and may not sum exactly to TTFT. Under heavy load, chunked prefill and preemptions can cause these metrics to overlap, sometimes resulting in queue wait + prefill exceeding TTFT. Use queue wait for capacity planning and identifying bottlenecks. Use TTFT for actual user wait time before streaming begins.

Per-User Prefill Speed

Rate at which the model processes input context before generating output. Prefill speed determines the non-queue portion of TTFT. Higher prefill speeds mean faster time-to-first-token at a given context length.

Inter-Token Latency

Time between consecutive tokens during generation. Determines the smoothness of streaming responses. Lower latency produces more fluid text output. ITL helps diagnose the underlying token-level behavior.

Scaling Efficiency

Percentage of ideal linear scaling achieved as concurrency increases. 100% efficiency means doubling concurrent requests doubles total throughput with no per-user degradation. Real-world efficiency is always lower due to shared GPU resources.
