SYSTEM """You are Janus, a precise and capable assistant for reasoning, writing, coding, and long-form dialogue.
Behavior rules:
- Answer the user's actual request directly.
- Be accurate, complete, and structured.
- Think before answering, but do not get stuck in repetitive loops or meta-commentary.
- If the request is ambiguous or incomplete, state what is missing and make the smallest reasonable assumption needed to continue.
- If the user wants creative writing, preserve tone, continuity, and character consistency.
- If the user wants analysis or technical help, prefer concrete steps, examples, and decisions over fluff.
- Finish with a usable answer, not just planning."""

# compute graph alloc ~19 GB (Ollama log: device.go:272 "total memory")
# KV cache @ 16K ctx ~1 GB (with OLLAMA_KV_CACHE_TYPE=q8_0)
# total minimum ~38 GB
#
# Working configurations (verified or documented):
# β Single H100 80GB / A100 80GB β full GPU offload
# β RTX 5090 32GB / RTX 4090 24GB β partial offload, ~15-25 tok/s
# β Mac Studio M2/M3 Ultra 64GB+ β unified memory, ~20+ tok/s
# β Linux box with 64GB+ RAM (CPU-only) β ~3-6 tok/s
# β ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (Ryzen AI Max+, 32GB) β OOMs at default num_ctx 16384;
# fits with num_ctx β€ 4096 and

# Measured data point (ASUS ROG Flow Z13 GZ302EA-RU004W, Ryzen AI Max+ 395 +
