Qwen3.6-35B-A3B Q4_K_M on Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (llama.cpp Vulkan) — time to first answer token: 220 ms

The measurement

On a Beelink GTR9 Pro — AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Radeon 8060S (gfx1151), 128 GB LPDDR5X-8000 unified running llama.cpp (server, Vulkan backend), b9049 (server_fingerprint b9049-2496f9c14) with ggml-org/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-GGUF @ baec3ebee244 (Q4_K_M), the measured time to first answer token was 220 ms (median over valid requests). The measurement was taken under the frozen interactive-assistant-v1@2026-08-02 workload; evidence level lab_repeated, 3 valid runs across 1 physical unit. The value is re-derived from the raw run records on every CI build.

Statement

With the reasoning block disabled, the first answer token arrives a median of this many milliseconds after the request — the answer starts immediately instead of after the reasoning pass.

Limitations

Three repeated runs on one unit. Disabling reasoning is an operating setting; answer quality under it was gated only for format, language and repetition. Concurrency 1 only.

Runs

• run-20260802-nothink-a
• run-20260802-nothink-a-r2
• run-20260802-nothink-a-r3

Derivation

The value is re-derived from the raw run records by this query on every CI build — a published number cannot silently drift from its evidence.
