Search / Retrieval / Reranking discussion for Llama - northgrid33 - 10-18-2026
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 speculative decoding.
Simple and boring is a valid answer.

My first guess would be this: Start by verifying the driver/runtime combo, then test with a smaller prompt, then look at reranking. A lot of these threads end up being one bad config plus a pile of conclusions drawn from it.

That matches what I was seeing. I ended up in about the same place using SGLang. The biggest change for me was simplifying the stack instead of adding one more optimization layer.

Good point. The pattern around batch size has been pretty similar for me. Worth rechecking your defaults though, because one bad assumption can make the rest of the thread look confusing.
