prompt templates worth keeping on Threadripper box

[mlxgarden]

This keeps coming up in conversation so I figured I'd start a thread.

The more I work with local setups, the more it seems like long context decides everything downstream.

Wondering if this is just where the whole space is heading now.

My first guess would be this: Start by verifying the driver/runtime combo, then test with a smaller prompt, then look at quant drift. Not glamorous advice, but repeatable baselines save a lot of time.
