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 structured output decides everything downstream.
Wondering if this is just where the whole space is heading now.

A couple things I'd check first. On 5090, the easiest win is often to back off the aggressive settings and see whether the problem survives. A lot of these threads end up being one bad config plus a pile of conclusions drawn from it.

Tried to reproduce it just now. The issue went away once I changed one setting and restarted the stack cleanly.

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. I don't think your conclusion is far off. I got better results once I stopped chasing one metric and just looked at whether the workflow felt usable.

Can you fill in a bit more context? Are you testing this on B200 or something else?
