Show HN: Lifeboat, 2-6x more concurrent agent sessions per GPU, no quantization
A nonprofit CTO running a local Qwen coding-agent stack on 2×RTX 4090s benchmarked four models and three quantizations over three weeks to determine practical concurrency limits. The data caps out at a soft limit of 5 concurrent agents at 64k context and a hard cap of 9, relevant to practitioners building local multi-agent setups.

A Reddit user benchmarked LM Studio with Qwen 3.6 35B on an RTX 5090, finding that running at least 4 parallel agents doubles tokens/second compared to a single agent. The test with 8 configured parallel tasks showed significant throughput improvement, suggesting developers using agent frameworks like Open Code should parallelize to maximize performance.

NVIDIA's AgentX benchmark replays production-style coding-agent sessions with long context, KV-cache reuse, tool gaps, and dynamic concurrency. The Vera Rubin preview result claims up to 30× higher throughput per megawatt than GB300 at a matched interactivity target, pending SemiAnalysis review. Critics note tokens/MW still doesn't measure completed work.

A new inference engine, Turing Engine, claims to serve 70B-parameter models like LLaMA-3.1-70B and Qwen-2.5-72B on a single 24GB GPU, achieving 3,064 tokens per second with 75% KV cache compression. It supports Unsloth checkpoints, potentially enabling high-throughput inference on consumer hardware.
