on-device inference worth the effort

[sparrowghost]

What exact setup are you running? Is this local-only or are you routing anything externally?

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

There are a few different conversations hiding inside this thread, so being explicit about the goal helps.
