do small edge boxes make sense with llama.cpp

[audiorunner74]

My first guess would be this: Start by verifying the driver/runtime combo, then test with a smaller prompt, then look at VRAM headroom.

I'd approach it in a boring order. Before rebuilding anything, I'd test one clean baseline with Gemma and compare from there. A lot of these threads end up being one bad config plus a pile of conclusions drawn from it.

If you post your exact settings, people here can probably narrow it down pretty fast.
