Announce at start
"I'm using the local-llm skill to work with the local inference setup."
Architecture
Two local LLM backends exist on this machine, serving the same underlying model
family (Qwen3.8-27B, 4-bit, hybrid attention -- see RAM cheatsheet below):
| Backend | Port | Role | Managed by |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM Studio | 1234 | Interactive chat UI use only | LM Studio app itself (own TTL-based auto-unload) |
| mlx-dspark | 8090 | Production -- everything build_local.py and any script under systems/superintelligence/* talks to |
launchd (~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.local.mlx-dspark.plist) |
