I have my own agent harness, and the inference backend is vLLM.

Can you tell me more about your agent harness? If it’s open source, I’d love to take it for a spin.

I would happily use local models if I could get them to perform, but they’re super slow if I bump their context window high, and I haven’t seen good orchestrators that keep context limited enough.

Curious how you handle sharding and KV cache pressure for a 120b model. I guess you are doing tensor parallelism across consumer cards, or is it a unified memory setup?

I don't, fits on my card with the full context, I think the native MXFP4 weights takes ~70GB of VRAM (out of 96GB available, RTX Pro 6000), so I still have room to spare to run GPT-OSS-20B alongside for smaller tasks too, and Wayland+Gnome :)

I thought the RTX 6000 Ada was 48GB? If you have 96GB available that implies a dual setup, so you must be relying on tensor parallelism to shard the model weights across the pair.

RTX Pro 6000 - 96GB VRAM - Single card
