Hardware Isn't the Bottleneck: Pushing Qwen3.5 to 207 tok/s on Consumer GPUs

The Luce-Org project demonstrates that handcrafted CUDA kernels and advanced speculative decoding can extract massive performance from older consumer hardware. By bypassing standard inference bottlenecks, they've enabled large models like Qwen3.5-27B to run at speeds previously reserved for enterprise-grade clusters, proving that software optimization remains the ultimate frontier for LLM accessibility.
