context size vs speed in GGUF with MLX - vrambandit - 09-23-2026

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

Just sharing a setup that ended up working reasonably well: Mistral, Ollama, 5090, with a lot of attention on INT4.

Maybe useful as a starting point for newer folks.

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

A couple questions before I guess too hard. Are you testing this on Threadripper box or something else?
