structured output failures

[batchscope72]

I'm trying to sanity-check my setup.

My current setup is Ollama with A6000, and I keep running into token cost.

If you've tested something similar, what did you keep and what did you stop bothering with?

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

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. That matches what I saw on 4090.

[minthall]

Appreciate the detail. That matches what I saw on A6000.

[circuitworks90]

Appreciate the detail. That matches what I saw on A6000.

I hit almost the same issue last night.

What worked for me was pretty simple. Before rebuilding anything, I'd test one clean baseline with DeepSeek and compare from there. A lot of these threads end up being one bad config plus a pile of conclusions drawn from it.

subscribed, curious where this lands.

Thanks, that helps. I don't think your conclusion is far off.

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. That matches what I saw on dual 3090. Worth rechecking your defaults though, because one bad assumption can make the rest of the thread look confusing.
