Optimize for faster inference

Performance optimizations:
1. Reduced max_tokens from 512 to 256 (faster responses)
2. Reduced n_ctx from 4096 to 2048 (faster prompt processing)
3. Added token buffering in streaming (better perceived speed)
- Buffers 3 tokens or until whitespace
- Reduces network overhead

Expected speedup: 15s → 8-10s per response
