Just curious - are you using Open WebUI or Librechat as a local frontend or are all your workflows just calling the models directly without UI?

I run lmstudio for ease of use on several mac studios that are fronted by a small token aware router that estimates resource usage on the mac studios.

Lots of optimization left there, but the systems are pinned most of the time so not focused on that at the moment as the gpus are the issue not the queuing.

I would like to hear more about your set up if you’re willing. Is the token aware router you’re using publicly available or something you’ve written yourself?

It isn't open... but drop me an email and I can send you it. Basically just tracks a list of known lmstudios on the network, queries their models every 15 seconds and routes to the ones who have the requested models loaded in a FIFO queue tracking the number of tokens/model (my servers are uniform... m4 max 128gb studios but could also track the server) and routes to the one that has just finished. I used to have it queue one just as it was expected to finish but was facing timeout issues due to an edgecase.
