Can Full-Precision Large Models Run via Streaming Inference?
HumanDrone8721 · reddit · 2026-07-19
Someone asks whether frameworks like NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM or streaming frameworks like DeepSpeed can actually run unquantized, unmodified MoE models on machines where neither VRAM nor system memory can hold the full weights. The focus is not the models themselves, but the real-world usability and performance of these "pseudo-unified memory/streaming loading" solutions: any successful cases, latency and throughput, and whether they can go beyond academic demos to daily inference.
