where reranking mattered for Mistral - signaltrack44 - 08-31-2026
Spent some time on this today and wanted to compare notes.
I've gone back and forth between vLLM and LM Studio for Qwen. The interesting difference for me has been KV cache pressure.
Trying to avoid rebuilding the whole thing twice.

A couple things I'd check first. On 4090, 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.

Good point. 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.

Appreciate the detail. I don't think your conclusion is far off. The biggest change for me was simplifying the stack instead of adding one more optimization layer.

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. The pattern around tool calling has been pretty similar for me.

A couple things I'd check first. If you're on vLLM, I'd confirm the version first and then reduce variables until the behavior is obvious. A lot of these threads end up being one bad config plus a pile of conclusions drawn from it.

That matches what I was seeing. That matches what I saw on A6000.

What exact setup are you running? 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.
