PyTorch compile got faster? on GB200 - deltastation - 09-24-2026

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

Maybe useful as a starting point: PyTorch on A6000, keeping HBM constraints in mind from the start.

Feel free to tear it apart if you see something dumb.

Thanks, that helps. I ended up in about the same place using Ollama. The biggest change for me was simplifying the stack instead of adding one more optimization layer.

subscribed, curious where this lands.

I'd approach it in a boring order. If you're on vLLM, I'd confirm the version first and then reduce variables until the behavior is obvious.

Tried to reproduce it just now. I couldn't reproduce the slowdown until I pushed context much higher.

Maybe, but I had the opposite result. I get why that seems right, but on M3 Max the bottleneck felt elsewhere. Could be a workload difference, but I wouldn't generalize too fast from one setup.

Can you fill in a bit more context? Do you see the same thing with a smaller batch or shorter prompt?

I'm happy to test one more variant if you want a second data point.

My first guess would be this: Start by verifying the driver/runtime combo, then test with a smaller prompt, then look at embeddings. Once you know the plain path works, then add the faster path back in piece by piece.

worth checking the driver first.
