Spent some time on this today and wanted to compare notes.
Two paths both seem viable, but they break down differently once embeddings becomes important.
Trying to avoid rebuilding the whole thing twice.

Need a little more detail here. Is this local-only or are you routing anything externally?

Can you fill in a bit more context? Are you testing this on M3 Max or something else?

Good point. I don't think your conclusion is far off.

Appreciate the detail. The pattern around structured output has been pretty similar for me. The biggest change for me was simplifying the stack instead of adding one more optimization layer.

I tested this tonight. On dual 3090 with LM Studio, I saw basically the same behavior.
