After a few runs on mini PC, I ended up with decent performance, but the setup only really made sense once I adjusted around consumer GPUs.<br />

Curious if anyone else landed in the same place.]]></description>

I'm not trying to build a perfect architecture diagram. I just want a sane starting point around vLLM and 4090.<br />
<br />
Simple and boring is a valid answer.<br />
<br />
For context, I'm not chasing leaderboard numbers. I mostly want the system to feel consistent day to day.]]></description>

<br />
One thing I keep noticing is that people underestimate MoE serving until they actually try to run this stuff for more than one afternoon.<br />
<br />
Curious whether that lines up with what other people are seeing.<br />
<br />
I expected the biggest difference to come from the model, but the stack around it mattered at least as much.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This keeps coming up in conversation so I figured I'd start a thread.<br />
<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 KV cache pressure.<br />
<br />
Wondering if this is just where the whole space is heading now.<br />
<br />
My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs.]]></description>

I'm mostly working with Llama in SGLang on dual 3090. The part I'm trying to understand is small local stacks.<br />

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