The mistral.rs project has released version 0.8.2, significantly improving CUDA inference speeds by up to 2.8 times compared to llama.cpp on various NVIDIA GPUs. This update focuses on optimizing throughput for models like Gemma 4, with performance gains observed across different quantization types and model architectures. Concurrently, discussions are ongoing regarding the status and viability of non-CUDA inference for large language models, with some tasks like speech-to-text showing promise on CPUs while others remain heavily reliant on CUDA.
