First order of business, make prompt_logprobs "compatible" with prefix caching.
It can't take advantage of the caching, but at least it will run.
Second order of business, reduce the peak memory usage of the samplers.
This PR slightly reduces the memory load, but not nearly enough:
On single-GPU, sampling can still take dozens of gigabytes at peak memory. (8b model at 16k was >10gb)
On multi-GPU, sampling is no cheaper, and there's also a colossal memory spike when gathering the logits.
Thoughts:
