structured output failures - benchplease - 10-14-2026

Posting this in case it saves someone else a little time.

If you were starting from scratch today for this use case, what would you choose first and what would you ignore?

Simple and boring is a valid answer.

Can you fill in a bit more context? Are you testing this on A6000 or something else?

If you post your exact settings, people here can probably narrow it down pretty fast.

Maybe, but I had the opposite result. I get why that seems right, but on 5090 the bottleneck felt elsewhere. Worth testing the simpler explanation before adopting the more interesting one.

following this because I'm in the same boat.

Thanks, that helps. I ended up in about the same place using vLLM. I got better results once I stopped chasing one metric and just looked at whether the workflow felt usable.

Not sure I agree there. I've seen people blame INT4 when the real issue was much more mundane.

Ran a quick check on my box. The issue went away once I changed one setting and restarted the stack cleanly.

worth checking the driver first.


Re: structured output failures - vramstream - 10-18-2026

Good point. I ended up in about the same place using TensorRT-LLM.

I think the bottleneck is somewhere else. The reported numbers can look compelling, but in ordinary usage I didn't see the same benefit. Worth testing the simpler explanation before adopting the more interesting one.
