- Driver host: Slobodans-MacBook-Air.local
- Node: predator (http://10.8.0.7:11436)

## Notes

- `Reasoning chars` is `len(message.reasoning_content)` from llama.cpp's response;
  `Answer chars` is `len(message.content)`. Both averaged over the 3 warm runs.
- For `qwen-9b-nothink`, expectation is `Reasoning chars` ≈ 0 (budget=0 + system instruction).
- For `qwen-9b-think500`, expectation is `Reasoning chars` materially smaller than the trio-bench's ~1024-budget run; the cap should bound the worst-case.
- For `qwen3-14b` on a 6 GB GTX 1060 with an 8.4 GB Q4_K_M GGUF: partial CPU offload kicks
  in at load time; throughput will be 30-50% of the 9B run.
