A Reddit user says llama.cpp maintainers have sat on MoE caching PRs for a year, settling for 1-2% tweaks — while the new Strata project delivered 5-10x prefill and 3-4x decode speedups in about two weeks.
The author recommends Strata for running a near-Luna-level model on 8-16GB GPUs plus 64GB RAM, at speeds comparable to or faster than a 27B model.
