desktop apps around local AI - rocmriley - 10-14-2026

This keeps coming up in conversation so I figured I'd start a thread.

The more I work with local setups, the more it seems like prefix caching decides everything downstream.

Maybe obvious to some of you, but it clicked for me this week.

My first guess would be this: Start by verifying the driver/runtime combo, then test with a smaller prompt, then look at router policy.

Not sure I agree there. I wouldn't optimize around that first. On my side the bigger swing came from the runtime and not the model.
