do small edge boxes make sense with PyTorch

Appreciate the detail. I ended up in about the same place using Ollama. I got better results once I stopped chasing one metric and just looked at whether the workflow felt usable.

A couple things I'd check first. Before rebuilding anything, I'd test one clean baseline with Gemma and compare from there. At this point the real bot

I'd approach it in a boring order. If you're on LM Studio, I'd confirm the version first and then reduce variables until the behavior is obvious.

Good point. I don't think your conclusion is far off. The biggest change for me was simplifying the stack instead of adding one more optimization layer.

A couple questions before I guess too hard. Is this local-only or are you routing anything externally?

That matches what I was seeing. I don't think your conclusion is far off.

Appreciate the detail. The pattern around KV cache pressure has been pretty similar for me. I got better results once I stopped chasing one metric and just looked at whether the workflow felt usable.
