- 7Hacker News·8/2/2026researchRunning Kimi K3 on AMD MI355X with Better Performance per Dollar Than B300
The post reports benchmark results for serving the Kimi K3 model on AMD MI355X GPUs, claiming better performance per dollar than Nvidia B300 in this setup. It also describes a ROCm-side bug in speculative decoding infrastructure and notes that a small PyTorch fix was needed to stabilize the scheduler.

Moondream describes how its Photon inference engine reduces GPU bubbles during autoregressive decoding by overlapping CPU bookkeeping with GPU forward passes. The approach uses pipelined decoding, ping-pong buffers, and deferred sampling/cleanup to improve decode throughput, with reported near-realtime VLM inference and up to 35% higher throughput on NVIDIA B200 hardware.
