110
-
111
- Tools (call as {{"action":"octocode","tool":"<name>","queries":{{...}}}}):
112
-
113
- localViewStructure - browse a directory tree, no content loaded; cheapest first orientation step.
114
- queries: path (string, required, absolute), maxDepth (int), recursive (bool), filesOnly (bool),
115
- directoriesOnly (bool), pattern (glob/substring filter).
116
-
117
- localFindFiles - find files/dirs by name, glob, regex, or type; returns paths only, not content.
118
- queries: path (string, required, absolute), names (array of globs), pathPattern (glob over full
119
- path), regex (basename regex), entryType ("f"|"d"), excludeDir (array, e.g. ["node_modules",".git"]).
120
-
121
- localSearchCode - search file contents for text/regex; returns file+line matches. Your main tool.
122
- queries: path (string, required, absolute), keywords (string; literal or regex search term),
123
- mode ("paginated"|"discovery"|"detailed"), include/exclude (glob arrays),
124
- caseInsensitive (bool), maxFiles (int).
125
- Do NOT pass mode "structural" with keywords — structural (AST) search takes `pattern`/`rule`
126
- instead and hard-errors on keywords, costing you a turn for nothing.
127
-
128
- localGetFileContent - read one file or a line range/matched slice of it.
129
- queries: path (string, required, absolute), fullContent (bool; small files only), startLine +
130
- endLine (ints, both required together), matchString (anchor text/regex), minify
131
- ("none"|"standard"|"symbols" — "symbols" gives a cheap outline first).
132
-
133
- lspGetSemantics - LSP semantic queries: definitions, references, callers/callees, symbol outline.
134
- queries: uri (string, required, absolute path), type ("definition"|"references"|"callers"|
135
- "callees"|"documentSymbols"|"hover"|...), symbolName (exact identifier), lineHint (int; get this
136
- from a prior search/documentSymbols call, never guess it).
137
- An EMPTY result is ambiguous, and it will not tell you which case you hit: it reports
138
- serverAvailable=true whether the language server is still indexing the project or genuinely
139
- cannot analyse the file. Measured here on the same files: a cold server returned
140
- totalSymbols=0 for Rust, and once warm the identical call returned 35. Python returned 139-430,
141
- TypeScript 45. So totalSymbols=0 means "ask again or search instead", NOT "no such symbol" and
142
- NOT "unsupported". Do not spend more than one retry on it — prefer localSearchCode, which needs
143
- no index and cannot be cold.
144
-
145
- Read another page of an earlier step: {{"action":"page","step":2,"page":2}}
146
- Long output is PAGINATED, never truncated — you see page 1 and the total, and nothing is discarded.
147
- "Not found" is only a real answer once you have seen every page you need. Paging re-reads stored
148
- output and does NOT re-run the tool, so it is cheaper than repeating a search.
149
-
150
- Finish with: {{"action":"finish","answer":"concise final answer with repository-relative evidence"}}
151
-
152
- These are the complete action schemas. Use only `octocode`, `page`, or `finish`; every shown field
153
- is required with the shown type, and `tool` must be one of the five names above. An invalid shape
154
- is rejected and costs one bounded repair turn.
155
-
156
- SCOPE YOUR SEARCHES. Pass excludeDir/exclude on every search in a real workspace —
157
- ["node_modules","target",".venv","dist","build",".git","vendor","__pycache__",".octocode"] — or
158
- vendored and generated files will bury the answer. Matches under fixtures/, mocks/ or examples/ are
159
- scaffolding, NOT the real implementation. Prefer src/, packages/*/src/ and lib/, and name the file
160
- you took the answer from. Absence of a match is weak evidence: widen the pattern before concluding
161
- something does not exist.
162
- ASKED FOR A DEFAULT? Find where it is DECLARED, not where it appears. A value like a port or a
163
- timeout is scattered across tests, docs and examples that merely pass it; those are occurrences, not
164
- the default. The declaration is an attribute or initializer — `default_value = `, `unwrap_or(`,
165
- `const `, `static `, a settings schema, a clap/argparse arg. Grep for the declaration form, and if
166
- you can only find occurrences, say which file you took it from and that you did not find a
167
- declaration. Test files (`tests/`, `*_test.*`, `*_contract.*`) define nothing — they consume it.
168
-
169
- All paths you pass must resolve inside the workspace; relative paths are resolved against the
170
- workspace root automatically. Orient cheap (localViewStructure/documentSymbols) before reading in
171
- full. Be decisive: most tasks need 2-6 tool calls. Never edit or write files — you only have
172
- read-only tools. Call finish as soon as the requested facts are established."""

11
- must continue to win.
12
-
13
- ## Decision
14
-
15
- Keep backend eligibility operator-owned and add three bounded controls:
16
-
17
- 1. Callers may send `auto`, `prefer_cpu`, or `prefer_gpu`; this is a fallback-capable hint.
18
- 2. GPU and CPU backends own independent weighted admission pools and transition locks.
19
- 3. `auto` can use task-specific normalized warm latency after three samples exist on both backends
20
- and one backend has more than a 10% advantage.
21
-
22
- Explicit models and session affinity override the hint. Quality routing never follows latency.
23
- Generation normalizes by output tokens; embeddings normalize by input tokens. Cold-load duration
24
- does not enter feedback. Raw Ollama passthrough remains byte-transparent to the primary upstream.
25
- Verified feedback is stored in a bounded, versioned snapshot and replaced atomically. A corrupt or
26
- unsupported snapshot fails startup instead of silently changing learned routing behavior.
27
-
28
- The contract is hardware-neutral: the operator supplies loopback endpoints and exact CPU-eligible
29
- tags, while FreeLlama discovers host capacity and observes Ollama placement. The measured 48 GB Mac
30
- result is validation evidence, not a routing constant. Device-visibility variables remain
31
- Ollama-process configuration because NVIDIA, ROCm, Vulkan, Metal, and CPU-only hosts differ.
32
-
33
- ## Alternatives
34
-
35
- | Alternative | Decision | Reason |
36
- |---|---|---|
37
- | Exact assignment only | Rejected | Safe but too rigid for agents and blind to runtime capacity |
38
- | Let agents supply an upstream or `num_gpu` | Rejected | Bypasses operator eligibility and compatibility boundaries |
39
- | Rewrite every raw Ollama request | Rejected | Breaks passthrough semantics and surprises existing clients |
40
- | Persist every raw runtime event | Rejected | Unbounded traces add privacy and storage risk; persist only aggregate prompt-free feedback |
41
- | Live memory/thermal controller | Deferred | No stable sensor and held-out workload yet justify it |
42
-
43
- ## Verification contract
44
-
45
- - Preview returns placement, upstream, preference satisfaction, reason, and admission capacity.
46
- - Two samples per backend do not change `auto`; the third makes the comparison decision-ready.
47
- - Explicit model and session pins do not move.
48
- - A one-unit GPU pool and one-unit CPU pool admit one task on each concurrently.
49
- - CPU-managed requests contain `options.num_gpu: 0`; raw `/api/*` bodies are unchanged.
50
- - Health exposes both pools and per-task feedback counts.
51
- - Restart reloads the same bounded feedback counts; an unsupported schema refuses startup.
52
-
53
- Rollback is configuration-only for callers: omit the preference or use `auto`. Operators can remove
54
- the CPU backend to restore a single-primary layout. Reverting independent pools requires a code
55
- rollback and is not recommended because it reintroduces cross-backend starvation.

- ## Current MCP-envelope audit (2026-09-03)
17
-
18
- The earlier table describes a historical workload on an M4 Pro. This audit measures the current
19
- eight-tool MCP build on the current host. JSON tokenization varies by client and model, so it records
20
- bytes first and gives `characters / 4` only as a deliberately rough token estimate.
21
-
22
- | Current result | Canonical structured chars | Compact text chars | Duplicate chars avoided | Rough duplicate-token estimate |
23
- |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
24
- | `doctor {view:"summary"}` | 3,099 | 35 | 3,064 | ~766 |
25
- | `doctor {view:"scheduler"}` | 3,933 | 35 | 3,898 | ~975 |

27
- | `doctor {view:"full"}` | 10,836 | 185 | 10,651 | ~2,663 |
28
- | `models {view:"raw", limit:1}` | 447 | 43 | 404 | ~101 |
29
-
30
- These are **not automatically billed-token savings**. They are the second serialized text copy
31
- that FreeLlama does not emit. An MCP host that feeds both `structuredContent` and text into a model
32
- can avoid roughly the listed amount; a host that already keeps only one representation does not.
33
- The canonical structured payload still exists for deterministic clients that need it.
34
-
35
- The current eight-tool schema plus initialization instructions measured 17,935 characters, or
36
- ~4,484 tokens using the same rough conversion. The integration suite enforces a ceiling below 4,500
37
- estimated tokens. This is tool-schema **rent**, not a saving: clients pay it whenever they expose
38
- the entire tool list to a model. Read the bundled documentation resource on demand and do not expose
39
- unneeded tools in a client that supports tool filtering.
40
-
41
- Delegated research has a different economics boundary. It keeps source files and full tool
42
- observations out of the calling agent's active prompt, but it spends local Ollama input/output
43
- tokens in the delegated agent. The historical research rows below remain useful workload evidence;
44
- they are not a claim that the current installed model or host can reproduce those savings. Measure
45
- the same question, source size, model, context policy, and client transcript before using a number
46
- as a production budget.
47
-
48
- ## Scaled to a session
49
-
50
- 20 grounded questions, 200 turns, one embedding index over 322 chunks:
51
-
52
- | Component | Tokens preserved |
53
- |---|---:|
54
- | Research offload | 191,553 |
55
- | Embedding vectors withheld | 354,200 |
56
- | Schema rent avoided, after ~90% prompt-cache discount | 59,740 |
57
- | **Total** | **≈ 605,000 — about 3 × a 200K window** |
58
-
59
- ## Measurement and projection limits
60
-
61
- Schema rent is nominally **597,400** tokens (200 turns × the former eight-tool schemas). Including
62
- the nominal figure puts the headline at **1.14M — nearly double**. This report discounts it by ~90%
63
- because prompt caching makes cached input far cheaper,
64
- and because the rent only accrues at all if a *separate* small model holds the tool schemas. The
65
- first two rows are the uncontestable part: that data physically never reaches the orchestrator.
66
-
67
- **Do not lead with this number.** Providers, caching strategies, context windows, and pricing all
68
- move, and a token count moves with them. The durable benefit is **context isolation** — the
69
- orchestrator never receives whole files, raw vectors, OCR output, intermediate research, or
70
- repetitive schemas. That improves context *quality* as well as cost, and it does not depend on
71
- anyone's price list.
72
-
73
- ## The cost side
74
-
75
- | | |
76
- |---|---|
77
- | Grounded question latency | **7–62 s** vs ~1 s for a frontier model that already holds the file |
78
- | Where it goes | **51% prompt re-evaluation**, 42% generation, 7% model load (measured on a 4-turn run) |
79
- | Scaling | turn-dominated: `seconds ≈ 9.8 × tool_calls`, correlation **0.811** over 60 runs |
80
- | Break-even | past ~1k tokens of source the token maths wins; below that, read the file directly |
81
- | Judgment ceiling | ~67% accurate, in the same confident tone as the ~99% case |
82
-
83
- **Correction (measured same day): prefix-cache reuse WORKS on this path.** An earlier revision of
84
- this file claimed the opposite by misreading `prompt_eval_count`, which counts *all* prompt tokens
85
- whether or not they were served from cache. The durations tell the truth:
86
-
87
- | Probe (raw `/api/chat`, 2,462-token prefix) | prompt_eval |
88
- |---|---:|
89
- | turn 1, cold | 18,631 ms |
90
- | turn 2, warm — tiny suffix appended | **281 ms** |
91
- | a *different* conversation interjected | 22,467 ms (its own cold prefill) |
92
- | turn 3 of the original, after the interjection | **285 ms — cache survived** |
93
-
94
- So the per-turn cost is **prefill of NEW tokens plus generation**, not re-reading old context, and
95
- the cache even survives interleaved conversations. The `seconds ≈ 9.8 × tool_calls` relationship
96
- still holds empirically — each turn adds a fresh observation to prefill (~130 tok/s measured) and a
97
- generation (~40 tok/s) — but the mechanism is new-token cost, not context re-evaluation. Fewer,
98
- better-aimed commands remain the lever; "the cache is broken" is not the reason.
99
-
100
- **One consequence worth acting on: context compaction is cache-hostile.** `fit_to_context` rewrites
101
- old observations when the window is nearly full, which changes the byte prefix and invalidates the
102
- cache from that point — the next turn re-prefills everything after the edit. The cheap mitigation is
103
- headroom: `OLLAMA_KV_CACHE_TYPE=q8_0` roughly halves KV memory (flash attention is already auto-on,
104
- measured and documented in `doctor`), which buys double the context for the same memory and makes
105
- compaction — and therefore invalidation — rare.

-
3
- FreeLlama integrates with Ollama as a loopback HTTP sidecar, not an in-process inference plugin.
4
- Ollama owns model execution; FreeLlama owns policy and coordination around it.

21

23
- | Kernels, prompt processing, and token generation | Ollama and its runner dependencies |
24

31
- | Authentication and remote exposure | FreeLlama bearer middleware; external ingress owns TLS and tenant authorization |
32
-
33
- FreeLlama does not make an individual model decode faster. It can improve workload completion by
34
- avoiding unsuitable routes, reducing avoidable transitions, refusing unsupported work early, and
35
- overlapping independent CPU and GPU model requests when the machine benefits from that layout.
36
-
37
- ## Preserve compatibility
38
-
39
- `packages/rust-core/src/proxy.rs` forwards paths, queries, request bodies, and streaming response
40
- bodies. It removes hop-by-hop headers and adds `x-freellama-proxy: 1` to responses. Raw `/api/*`
41
- and `/v1/*` requests always target the primary upstream and are not rewritten for CPU placement.

-

51
-
52
- The distinction is intentional: existing Ollama clients retain predictable compatibility, while
53
- clients that opt into the managed API receive routing and policy behavior.
54
-
55
- ## Know the remaining limits
56
-
57
- Native passthrough traffic remains under Ollama's scheduler and does not participate in FreeLlama's
58
- transition locks. The managed sidecar also does not enforce live memory-pressure or thermal
59
- admission. A configured but unreachable CPU backend makes managed catalog discovery fail closed;
60
- raw primary passthrough remains usable.
61
-
62
- Runtime feedback is task-specific, token-normalized, and warm-only. It can steer
63
- unpinned `fastest` or `balanced` work after three samples on each backend and a greater-than-10%
64
- advantage; it cannot change CPU eligibility or steer quality routing. The CLI persists a bounded,
65
- versioned snapshot atomically by default, so verified evidence survives restart without changing
66
- Ollama residency.
67

68
- Read [Architecture](ARCHITECTURE.md) for all managed flows,
69
- [CPU and GPU model routing](CPU_GPU_ROUTING.md) for the two-process procedure, and
