Kimi 2.7 Code benchmark shows limited decode speed gains with RTX GPU

A benchmark test was conducted using the Kimi 2.7 Code model on a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPU, leveraging llama.cpp for RPC communication. The results indicated that while using the RTX GPU improved prefill speeds by approximately 14.8%, it offered minimal gains of about 4.2% in token generation and decoding speeds. The overall request time saw a modest improvement of 12.3%. AI

IMPACT This benchmark provides insights into optimizing LLM performance on hybrid CPU-GPU setups, particularly for prefill operations.
