Benchmarking Qwen3.6 MoE on Intel integrated graphics

MoE on Arc project banner

This project serves the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B mixture-of-experts model, 35 billion parameters with 3 billion active, on the Intel Arc 140V integrated graphics in a Core Ultra 7 258V laptop, and measures the accuracy of its answers alongside its speed.

The model is served as an HTTP endpoint through OpenVINO Model Server using the INT4 build published by OpenVINO. The project documents each step, including raising the shared GPU memory limit so the 18.3GB of weights fit, and the server flags needed for tool calling and prefix caching.

The benchmark runs a set of invoice extraction tasks and scores every returned field, so a fast answer that is wrong counts against the model. On the Core Ultra 7 258V it measured 90% field accuracy, 20.5 tokens per second for generation, 62 tokens per second for prefill and a median time to first token of 2.89 seconds.

The harness works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and the repository includes an environment check script, the benchmark tasks and the raw results.
