vision-language models on consumer gear with llama.cpp

I figured I'd ask here before changing everything.

I'm mostly working with FLUX in LM Studio on A6000. The part I'm trying to understand is tool calling.

If you've tested something similar, what did you keep and what did you stop bothering with?

The part that surprised me was how much the boring details mattered more than the model choice.
