Chris Novick’s local-model performance notes

Field notes

The homepage indexes posts by date and includes short excerpts that give readers a quick sense of each experiment. The excerpts identify hardware, model variants, context length, and—in one case—a fork of vLLM; the speedups are presented as the author's reported results, and the extracted page does not show the benchmark methodology. Other listed writing ranges from an economics argument about inference hardware to a reflection on imposter syndrome.
