> threading overhead is a known performance issue

I didn't know about it, I should have... are there any "edge" frameworks as complete as ggml/llama.cpp that you know of that are faster now? Ggml is still very easy to use which I like, but I'd always thought of it as the fastest, in particular for CPU, I hadn't noticed there were known performance issues.

Apache TVM, with (for instance) mlc-llm. It will compile to CPU, Vulkan, and other esoteric backends, and its autotuning is like black magic.

Llama.cpp is still SOTA on CPU, as far as I know, especially with a small discrete GPU to help with long prompt ingestion. And it has tons of features (like grammar, context extending and good quant) that other frameworks are still missing.
