			<description><![CDATA[Did a bit of testing and thought I'd post the result here.<br />
<br />
I tried this with Gemma using MLX on Threadripper box. The headline result was better than I expected, but structured output still ended up being the limiting factor.<br />
<br />
Curious if anyone else landed in the same place.<br />
<br />
I care more about stability than squeezing the last possible tokens/sec out of it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This keeps coming up in conversation so I figured I'd start a thread.<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 consumer GPUs.<br />
<br />
Curious whether that lines up with what other people are seeing.<br />
<br />
I care more about stability than squeezing the last possible tokens/sec out of it.]]></description>

This isn't revolutionary, but the combination of TensorRT-LLM and 7900 XTX felt surprisingly usable once I tuned around embeddings.<br />

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

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