still need to test it in concurrency + try it in nvfp4 hopefully will be able to compare perplexity in bf16 / fp8 / nvfp4 as well as tp performance jumps from 2 -> 4 -> 8 nodes across all 3

vLLM serving full BF16 weights, 200k context
OpenCode having the model monitor its own hardware and report thermals, tokens/sec, TTFT, and other runtime stats in real time
What benchmarks / workflows / things do you wanna see next? https://t.co/iCR8UsLs8E pic.twitter.com/I04c7j6UkgMiniMax M2.7 at home running on 4x DGX Sparks vLLM serving full BF16 weights, 200k context OpenCode having the model monitor its own hardware and report thermals, tokens/sec, TTFT, and other runtime stats in real time What benchmarks / workflows / things do you wanna see next?
