Pros	Paged SSD KV cache slashes agent TTFT from 30-90s to <5s on long contexts Drop-in OpenAI and native Anthropic /v1/messages endpoints for Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw Continuous batching delivers ~4.14x generation speedup at 8x concurrency Native signed/notarized menu-bar app (not Electron) with web dashboard Apache 2.0, reuses your existing LM Studio model directory	One-prompt → live app Auto-deploys Great for non-engineers Self-corrects errors
Cons	Apple Silicon and macOS 15+ only - no Linux, Windows or NVIDIA Best benchmarks assume an M3 Ultra 512GB few readers actually own Young project (VLM support only since v0.2.0) - feature surface still maturing No hosted/cloud option; you supply the hardware	Quality drops on complex apps Iteration loop slower than local IDE
