search and retrieval tuning tips with SGLang - vectorhouse71 - 10-07-2026

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 VRAM headroom.

Simple and boring is a valid answer.

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

I tested this tonight. The issue went away once I changed one setting and restarted the stack cleanly. I expected the model choice to matter more than it did.

My first guess would be this: Before rebuilding anything, I'd test one clean baseline with Mistral and compare from there. Not glamorous advice, but repeatable baselines save a lot of time.

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

following this because I'm in the same boat.

If you post your exact settings, people here can probably narrow it down pretty fast.
