# Phase 01: Model Interface & Switching - Context
|
|
|
|
**Gathered:** 2026-01-27
|
|
**Status:** Ready for planning

|
## Phase Boundary
|
|
|
|
Connect to LMStudio for local model inference, auto-detect available models, intelligently switch between models based on task and availability, and manage model context efficiently (conversation history, system prompt, token budget).

## Implementation Decisions
|
|
|
|
### Model Selection Strategy
|
|
- Primary factor: Available resources (CPU, RAM, GPU)
|
|
- Preference: Most efficient model that fits constraints
|
|
- Categorize models by both capability tier AND resource needs
|
|
- Fallback: Try minimal model even if slow when no model fits constraints
|
|
|
|
### Context Management Policy
|
|
- Trigger compression at 70% of context window
|
|
- Use hybrid approach: summarize very old messages, keep some middle ones intact, preserve all recent messages
|
|
- Priority during compression: Always preserve user instructions and explicit requests
|
|
- Adapts to different model context sizes based on percentage
|
|
|
|
### Switching Behavior
|
|
- Silent switching: No user notifications when changing models
|
|
- Dynamic switching: Can switch mid-task if current model struggles
|
|
- Smart context transfer: Send context relevant to why switching occurred
|
|
- Queue new tasks: Prepare new model in background, use for next message
|
|
|
|
### Failure Handling
|
|
- Auto-start LM Studio if not running
|
|
- Try next best model automatically if model fails to load
|
|
- Switch and retry immediately if model gives no response or errors
|
|
- Graceful degradation: Switch to minimal resource usage mode when exhausted
|
|
|
|
### Claude's Discretion
|
|
- Exact model capability tier definitions
|
|
- Context compression algorithms and thresholds within hybrid approach
|
|
- What constitutes "struggling" for dynamic switching
|
|
- Graceful degradation specifics (which features to disable)
|

## Specific Ideas
|
|
|
|
No specific requirements — open to standard approaches for local model management.

## Deferred Ideas

None — discussion stayed within phase scope
