Re-ran the full comparison at --max-seq-len 8192 now that xserv handles it:
- OOM finding resolved — pool sized to available VRAM + vLLM-style host swap;
8192 runs with 0 swap events (swap is the overload safety net).
- Quality at parity with equal context: AIME 20.0% vs 20.0%, GSM8K 98% vs 96%.
- Speed unchanged relative to llama.cpp (~0.42-0.60x); TPOT is bandwidth-bound.

Record what the new baseline adds (llama.cpp pinned b9371, same BF16 weights,
AIME 2025 + GSM8K) and the measured results: performance (xserv ~0.45-0.61x
llama.cpp throughput) and quality parity (GSM8K 94% vs 96%, AIME 23.3% vs 20%
after the context fix), plus the findings the bench surfaced.
