> 11.08× faster and generated tokens 16.36× faster than the same workload in the same stock VM.

So this was the comparison, for me the title was a bit confusing

yeah fair point. it's always tricky to get the whole idea across within HN's title limit. tldr: we ran the same workload in the same Lume macOS VM on the same Apple Silicon host, first with stock Metal capability reporting and then with our process-scoped dynamic library. The 11.08x figure is prompt processing, while 16.36x is token generation. the mechanism technically extends to graphics workloads too but these figures are specifically from llama.cpp
