LLM user seeks faster prompt processing for long agentic runs

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking methods to improve prompt processing speed for large language models, specifically mentioning issues with Qwen and a significant drop in tokens per second as context length increases. They are currently using Linux with Vulkan and note that while HIP offers a speed boost, it comes with increased memory usage and poor token generation. The user is looking for solutions to maintain higher processing speeds during long agentic runs. AI
