Short version: PyTorch behaved well for me, but only after I stopped ignoring MoE serving.<br />
<br />
Happy to post more details if anyone wants them.<br />
<br />
For context, I'm not chasing leaderboard numbers. I mostly want the system to feel consistent day to day.]]></description>

I'm trying to decide whether to keep the current stack or change course. Main question is how people here are handling prefill/decode split.<br />

My current setup is LM Studio with GB200, and I keep running into token cost.<br />

If you've tested something similar, what did you keep and what did you stop bothering with?<br />

My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs.]]></description>

Two paths both seem viable, but they break down differently once continuous batching becomes important.<br />

It feels like the conversation has shifted hard toward inference and serving details lately, and honestly that makes sense once you start dealing with small local stacks.<br />

Maybe obvious to some of you, but it clicked for me this week.<br />

This is mostly for local work rather than public serving.]]></description>
