This keeps coming up in conversation so I figured I'd start a thread.

The more I work with local setups, the more it seems like structured output decides everything downstream.

Wondering if this is just where the whole space is heading now.

Tried to reproduce it just now. On GB200 with llama.cpp, I saw basically the same behavior. The surprise was that memory pressure showed up before throughput collapsed.

A couple things I'd check first. On 5090, the easiest win is often to back off the aggressive settings and see whether the problem survives. A lot of these threads end up being one bad config plus a pile of conclusions drawn from it.

Tried to reproduce it just now. The issue went away once I changed one setting and restarted the stack cleanly.

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. I don't think your conclusion is far off. I got better results once I stopped chasing one metric and just looked at whether the workflow felt usable.

I'd start with the simpler stack.

Can you fill in a bit more context? Are you testing this on B200 or something else?
