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 tail latency decides everything downstream.
Curious whether that lines up with what other people are seeing.

I don't think that's the whole story. I wouldn't optimize around that first. On my side the bigger swing came from the runtime and not the model. Not saying you're wrong, just that I wouldn't lock that in as the lesson yet.

Can you fill in a bit more context? Do you see the same thing with a smaller batch or shorter prompt?
