Summary
According to a post on X by @redp314, four inference engines were each run three times on one DGX Spark in an agent test at 30K context, as part of a Qwen3.8 Flash-Next comparison. TensorFold with MiaAI_lab's patches reached 36.2 tokens per second, ahead of Nvidia's Flare at 31.2, stock TensorFold at 30.2 and vLLM at 26.4. The post's larger finding is that output type mattered more than the engine, with JSON decoding at 67 to 70 tokens per second and prose at 31 to 34 on every engine.

What happened
redp314 ran four inference engines three times each on an agent test at 30K context: TensorFold with MiaAI_lab's patches reached 36.2 tok/s, Nvidia's Flare 31.2, stock TensorFold 30.2 and vLLM 26.4. The bigger finding is that output type matters more than the engine: JSON decoded at 67 to 70 tok/s and prose at 31...
Why it matters
Developers running agents on similar hardware may see output format affect throughput more than engine choice. Teams choosing an inference engine should test their own output types, since the gaps between engines here are smaller than the gap between JSON and prose. These results come from one machine and one set of runs, so wider benchmarks would be needed before drawing general conclusions.
