Investigate: Cortex uses significant CPU #1883

@TC117

Description

@TC117

Problems:

  • Cortex uses significant CPU, was report multiple timed by Emre.
    Most recently:

Even with the 7B model of R1 distills, the laptop heats up significantly and the fan kicks in - there wasn't this much heating even with 14B models. > Do R1 models consume more energy for you as well?

Task:

  • We should evaluate whether our CPU usage is correct
  • There is likely a performance vs. CPU usage tradeoff
  • Benchmark against Ollama and LMStudio's approach

From Emre:

Jan (Cortex) is using almost 100% CPU in some cases. In Mac, the token speed is almost the same with LM Studio but consumes much more energy
