Thought I'd post a small recipe because a lot of threads ask similar things.
This isn't revolutionary, but the combination of Ollama and 7900 XTX felt surprisingly usable once I tuned around structured output.
If someone wants the exact settings I can clean them up and post them.

That matches what I was seeing. I ended up in about the same place using vLLM. I got better results once I stopped chasing one metric and just looked at whether the workflow felt usable.

I'd approach it in a boring order. Start by verifying the driver/runtime combo, then test with a smaller prompt, then look at MoE serving. Not glamorous advice, but repeatable baselines save a lot of time.

Can you fill in a bit more context? Is this local-only or are you routing anything externally?

Did a small comparison this afternoon. 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.

What worked for me was pretty simple. If you're on LM Studio, I'd confirm the version first and then reduce variables until the behavior is obvious.

Appreciate the detail. I ended up in about the same place using Ollama. Worth rechecking your defaults though, because one bad assumption can make the rest of the thread look confusing.

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. I don't think your conclusion is far off.
