Interesting, I hadn't tried that. I don't think your conclusion is far off. The biggest change for me was simplifying the stack instead of adding one more optimization layer.

Tried to reproduce it just now. On M3 Max with vLLM, I saw basically the same behavior.

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