Repository-backed releases provide concrete installation, API and workspace details. Most NEED_TO_KNOW items are Reddit anecdotes or rumours without reproducible evidence, so the appropriate response is controlled evaluation rather than workflow change.

KV caching stores prior attention keys and values, so generation reuses them instead of recomputing every token. It cuts latency and cost in chat APIs and local engines such as Strata.
