       | Seeing frameworks like this pop up reminds me how much the LLM
       | ecosystem is moving toward more modular and hardware-aware
       | solutions. Performance at lower compute cost will be key as
       | adoption spreads past tech giants. Curious to see how devs plug
       | this into real-time apps; so much room for lightweight innovation
       | now.

       | In particular, it is _slower_ when used with  <30k token context.
