Not sure I have a strong opinion but I am sort of okay with current state of affairs. I am optimizing for V100. EOL cards on EOL CUDA. Llama is a good enough base for this. A couple weeks of grunting at Claude has gotten the inference /fast/ for my uses. 150-160 t/s on 2 GPU for 27B and 125 t/s on Flash Next. Asking them to upstream every random feature does not make sense. They sacrifice a lot of speed to maintain stability and a reasonable feature set that works across a diverse range of models and systems. They could maybe merge some features like this and gate them on flags a little faster, but you can cobble together what you need and the big models can figure out how to make it fast.

Does anything else support Pascal gpu's though?
