Strata + Qwen 3.8 Flash Next: fast, but what's it costing in quality?

Reddit r/LocalLLaMA News

Summary

一位用户质疑 Strata 的高性能宣传:虽然 tokens per second 和针尖测试数据亮眼,但其剪枝专家(pruned experts)与量化是否牺牲实际输出质量尚未经过验证,建议用 llama.cpp 上的相同 GGUF 来对照测试。

Lots of hype around Strata lately and the speeds look great. But everything I see is tokens per second and needle tests. Has anyone checked if quality holds up? Same GGUF on llama.cpp should answer the quant question, but Strata also prunes experts. Does that cost anything in actual use?
