From a44e9f57893efebbe97b9f08a0df22c806623d0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Snider Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 23:34:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat(metal): add inference metrics (timing, throughput, memory) Instrument Generate, Classify, and BatchGenerate with: - Prefill/decode timing (separate phases) - Token counts (prompt + generated) - Throughput (tok/s for each phase) - Peak and active GPU memory via Metal allocator Wire through metalAdapter.Metrics() to go-inference interface. Test validates all fields populated after generation. Gemma3-1B 4-bit on M3 Ultra: prefill 246 tok/s, decode 82 tok/s, peak 6.2 GB GPU memory.
