As a user of a lot of coding tokens I’m most interested in latency - these numbers are presumably for heavily batched workloads. I dearly wish Claude had a cerebras endpoint.

I’m sure I’d use more tokens because I’d get more revs, but I don’t think token usage would increase linearly with speed: I need time to think about what I want to and what’s happened or is proposed. But I feel like I would be able to stay in flow state if the responses were faster, and that’s super appealing.

Impressive performance work. It's interesting that you still see these 40+% perf gains like this. Makes you think that you will continue to see the costs for a fixed level of "intelligence" dropping.

Absolutely. LLM inference is still a greenfield — things like overlap scheduling and JIT CUDA kernels are very recent. We’re just getting started optimizing for modern LLM architectures, so cost/perf will keep improving fast.

Now all we need is better support for AMD gpus, both CDNA and RDNA types

ZLUDA implements CUDA on top of AMD ROCm - they are explicitly targetting vLLM as their PyTorch compatibility test: https://vosen.github.io/ZLUDA/blog/zluda-update-q4-2025/#pyt...

(PyTorch does also support ROCm generally, it shows up as a CUDA device.)

I feel like these technologies are named by the Polish at the companies. "CUDA" means "WONDERS" and "ZŁUDA" would be an "ILLUSION".
