batching changes after update - audioriver - 09-17-2026

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

This isn't revolutionary, but the combination of PyTorch and M3 Max felt surprisingly usable once I tuned around prefill/decode split.

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

For context, I'm not chasing leaderboard numbers. I mostly want the system to feel consistent day to day.

Ran a quick check on my box. On B200 with TensorRT-LLM, I saw basically the same behavior. I expected the model choice to matter more than it did. At this point the real bottleneck is my patience.

I don't think that's the whole story. The reported numbers can look compelling, but in ordinary usage I didn't see the same benefit. Worth testing the simpler explanation before adopting the more interesting one.

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. The pattern around workstation thermals has been pretty similar for me. I got better results once I stopped chasing one metric and just looked at whether the workflow felt usable.

I don't think that's the whole story. I've seen people blame tokens/sec when the real issue was much more mundane. Worth testing the simpler explanation before adopting the more interesting one.

Good point. I ended up in about the same place using SGLang. Worth rechecking your defaults though, because one bad assumption can make the rest of the thread look confusing.

What worked for me was pretty simple. Before rebuilding anything, I'd test one clean baseline with Kimi and compare from there. A lot of these threads end up being one bad config plus a pile of conclusions drawn from it.

Appreciate the detail. I don't think your conclusion is far off.

worth checking the driver first.

I tested this tonight. I couldn't reproduce the slowdown until I pushed context much higher. The surprise was that memory pressure showed up before throughput collapsed.
