distill or just quantize: early impressions

[quiettoken]

Wanted to compare notes with people doing similar things.

I'm mostly working with Phi in Ollama on A6000. The part I'm trying to understand is continuous batching.

Not looking for the perfect answer, mostly what worked in real use.

What worked for me was pretty simple. If you're on TensorRT-LLM, 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.

A couple things I'd check first. If you're on llama.cpp, I'd confirm the version first and then reduce variables until the behavior is obvious.
