Thanks, that helps. I ended up in about the same place using PyTorch. Worth rechecking your defaults though, because one bad assumption can make the rest of the thread look confusing.

I don't think that's the whole story. I get why that seems right, but on dual 3090 the bottleneck felt elsewhere. Not saying you're wrong, just that I wouldn't lock that in as the lesson yet.

following this because I'm in the same boat.

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. That matches what I saw on A6000. The biggest change for me was simplifying the stack instead of adding one more optimization layer.

I don't think that's the whole story. I get why that seems right, but on 5090 the bottleneck felt elsewhere.

Ran a quick check on my box. My result was mixed: first run looked bad, second run looked normal. I expected the model choice to matter more than it did.

A couple things I'd check first. Start by verifying the driver/runtime combo, then test with a smaller prompt, then look at prefix caching. Once you know the plain path works, then add the faster path back in piece by piece.

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

I'm helping a small team set up a local workflow. We don't need a giant stack, but we do care about small local stacks.

Simple and boring is a valid answer.

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

Tried to reproduce it just now. The issue went away once I changed one setting and restarted the stack cleanly. The main thing that moved was latency, not quality.
