recipes for a good local stack on B200 - modgarden - 10-08-2026

Spent some time on this today and wanted to compare notes.

I'm comparing two approaches here: keep it simple on mini PC, or squeeze more out of the stack and deal with the complexity.

Trying to avoid rebuilding the whole thing twice.

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

A couple things I'd check first. If you're on LM Studio, I'd confirm the version first and then reduce variables until the behavior is obvious.

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. I ended up in about the same place using SGLang. I got better results once I stopped chasing one metric and just looked at whether the workflow felt usable.

I'd start with the simpler stack.

I'd approach it in a boring order. Start by verifying the driver/runtime combo, then test with a smaller prompt, then look at long context. Not glamorous advice, but repeatable baselines save a lot of time.

I'd approach it in a boring order. On 4090, the easiest win is often to back off the aggressive settings and see whether the problem survives. Not glamorous advice, but repeatable baselines save a lot of time.

Did a small comparison this afternoon. I couldn't reproduce the slowdown until I pushed context much higher. I expected the model choice to matter more than it did.

Thanks, that helps. I don't think your conclusion is far off.

I hit almost the same issue last night.
