摘要

Local AI promises capable personal assistants that run on users' own devices, keeping data and computation under their control. Open-weight models that fit on local devices can now handle practical tasks such as coding. Yet current inference engines fall short. Popular engines such as vLLM and SGLang target datacenter GPUs with dedicated host memory, while local engines underuse the memory hierarchy of unified-memory devices. We present Hibana, an inference engine for unified-memory devices that co-optimizes model representation, memory management, and decoding strategy. Model surgery, the process of editing a trained model's architecture to suit its hardware, changes how the model computes, shrinking its memory footprint and data movement. Unified-memory management preserves each agent's state across turns, so long-running agents can resume instantly instead of recomputing their state. Adaptive speculation generates several tokens per step. Hibana codesigns these features around the shared memory capacity and limited bandwidth of unified-memory systems-on-chip to support local multi-agent workloads. On a single DGX Spark serving Qwen and Nemotron models of up to 125B parameters, Hibana completes up to 3.4$\times$ more agentic tasks per hour and delivers up to 3.9$\times$ higher decoding throughput than other established frameworks such as vLLM, NVIDIA Flare, llama.cpp, and TensorFold.
