8B vs 14B sweet spot - vramarch - 10-12-2026

Thought I'd post a small recipe because a lot of threads ask similar things.

This isn't revolutionary, but the combination of TensorRT-LLM and 7900 XTX felt surprisingly usable once I tuned around embeddings.

If someone wants the exact settings I can clean them up and post them.

My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs.
