This isn't revolutionary, but the combination of TensorRT-LLM and A6000 felt surprisingly usable once I tuned around speculative decoding.<br />

If someone wants the exact settings I can clean them up and post them.]]></description>

I'm trying to decide whether to keep the current stack or change course. Main question is how people here are handling tokens/sec.<br />
<br />
Would appreciate practical advice rather than theory.<br />
<br />
This is mostly for local work rather than public serving.]]></description>

I'm comparing two approaches here: keep it simple on B200, or squeeze more out of the stack and deal with the complexity.<br />

Two paths both seem viable, but they break down differently once structured output becomes important.<br />
<br />
What would you pick if you had to live with it for a few months? Turns out 'just one more test' was a lie.]]></description>

Just sharing a setup that ended up working reasonably well: Mistral, LM Studio, 7900 XTX, with a lot of attention on VRAM headroom.<br />

If someone wants the exact settings I can clean them up and post them.<br />

For context, I'm not chasing leaderboard numbers. I mostly want the system to feel consistent day to day.]]></description>

I tried this with Mixtral using Ollama on M3 Max. The headline result was better than I expected, but MoE serving still ended up being the limiting factor.<br />

Happy to post more details if anyone wants them.<br />

I care more about stability than squeezing the last possible tokens/sec out of it.]]></description>
