Key Points

  • The post asks whether upgrading from Ubuntu 24.04 to Ubuntu 26.04 results in noticeable inference speed gains when using common local LLM tools.
  • It specifically mentions inference stacks such as VLLM, llama-server, and LM Studio, inviting real-world benchmark-style experiences.
  • The question highlights users with hardware like ASUS Strix Halo as a key subgroup to compare performance changes after the OS upgrade.
  • Overall, it’s a community inquiry rather than a report of a new release or measured findings.

I'm curious if any brave soul has upgraded their computer (especially if it's Strix Halo) from Ubuntu 24.04 -> 26.04 and seen a significant performance improvement for inference with VLLM, llama-server, and/or LM Studio.
