Thanks I appreciate the info. I may try to spin up something like this and give it a whirl.
I would recommend trying oMLX, which is much more performant and efficient than LM Studio. It has block-level KV context caching that makes long chats and agentic/tool calling scenarios MUCH faster.
and it horribly kernel panics when it is running for too long due to Apple does not give a sh over mlx, see list of issues:
