    I've just tested Strata on a simple 50 image vision benchmark. The task is to output the exact coordinates of a requested object. The result via Strata had a median error distance of 154.8 pixels, avg of 168.8. Running the exact same GGUF and vision adapter weights on llama.cpp gives me a median error of 46.5, avg 81.4.

    To put that into perspective, here are some more numbers from other models via llama.cpp:

    Median/Average

    Qwen 3.5 9B BF16: 46.5 / 193.3

    Qwen 3.6 35B Q4 K XL: 38.4 / 76.4

    Qwen 3.5 122B Q3 K M: 32.9 / 68.6

    The difference in vision performance is as large as the jump from a 9B model to a 35B model. All tests were performed at temp=0.

    I have done no further testing, as these results line up perfectly with my expectations.

      How big are the images? Is 160px 1%, 10%…?
