SBC inference experiments

Spent some time on this today and wanted to compare notes.

Two paths both seem viable, but they break down differently once structured output becomes important.

Interested in tradeoffs more than fan loyalty.

Appreciate the detail. 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.

I'd approach it in a boring order. If you're on llama.cpp, I'd confirm the version first and then reduce variables until the behavior is obvious. Once you know the plain path works, then add the faster path back in piece by piece.
