We only write what we have checked on the four machines we hold. Unmeasured tok/s, other people's card benches, and nameplate scores for hardware that has not arrived are not our results. The Gigabyte DGX Spark 128GB arrived on 2026-08-31 and is on site. We still have no tok/s for it. Strix Halo is still planned.
Checked on hardware we hold. Speed tables only after a measurement.
Reading the 2026-08-26 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (125B-A6B + 51B n-gram) from Unsloth GGUF, community MLX file sizes, and the official card only. Mapped onto the AI Tech Engine lab’s RTX 4080 16GB / M1 Max 64GB / M2 Max 96GB / planned 128GB. No unmeasured tok/s.
On the same MacBook Pro (M1 Max 64GB) we run Qwen3.8-27B through MTPLX and omlx DFlash, and Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B through omlx, on the same needle and the same tokens. All three paths hit the needle. The same Angry-Birds-style HTML is playable only from Ornith. We do not use other people’s card benches.
How the AI Tech Engine lab is actually wired. What the RTX 4080 16GB, M1 Max 64GB, and M2 Max 96GB do today, and why the planned Strix Halo and DGX Spark 128GB boxes are for 70B-class work and local agents. No unmeasured TPS.
We check Qwen3.8-27B and Meta Muse Glimmer 30B against Hugging Face and official docs, then map them onto the AI Tech Engine lab’s M1 Max 64GB / M2 Max 96GB / RTX 4080 16GB and the planned 128GB boxes. No unmeasured tok/s.
A 2026 subscription-cost guide for developers and operators. We compare code generation, long-document analysis, and output per dollar — not vendor slogans.
YouTube and social feeds are packed with AI side-hustle receipts. We unpack the ‘anyone, 10 minutes a day’ myth, and the open-chat / paid-course funnel sitting under the video.
RTX 4090, 4080 Super, used dual 3090s, Mac Studio M3 Max. What actually fits at each VRAM size, and which builds make sense at each budget — a buying map, not a lab fleet list.

Agents and pipelines that look perfect in a demo clip fall apart the day they hit production. The failure modes, and the guards that actually belong in the stack.
