me thinks there's a lot of optimization strats we're currently leaving on the table just because the amount of things to explore and test are so expansive. but this one is super interesting targeting metal primarily and zeroing in on one model. instead of a one size fits all llama.cpp im very interested to see if theres a future where super tailor-made variants per model pans out to harnesses that can rapidly switch ultimately providing something akin to sonnet/early opus territory (that's my personal bench mark of good-enough i shall now cancel the hell out of this claude sub)
With this configuration (set up over the last month) I have been working on Python data processing tools, an internal Svelte 5/SvelteKit data intensive BI app, and some smaller Rust projects. It's been doing really well there.
