Local vs Cloud AI Usage: What Should You Measure?
Compare cloud quotas with local model capacity using the right metrics for cost, context, speed, memory, privacy, and availability.
Tracking LM Studio Context, Tokens, and Generation Speed
Monitor LM Studio model load, context use, tokens per second, time to first token, and queued requests across local workflows.
How to Measure Ollama Token Usage and Speed on a Mac
Use Ollama response metrics to track input tokens, output tokens, cache hits, model load time, and generation speed locally.
How to Track Antigravity Agent Usage Without Guessing
Monitor Antigravity quota, model requests, and active agent work while keeping its usage separate from Gemini CLI and other tools.
Gemini CLI Quotas and the /stats Command
Track Gemini CLI requests, session tokens, daily quotas, and authentication-specific limits with the official stats view and a Mac tracker.
GitHub Copilot Premium Requests: What Counts and How to Track Them
A practical guide to Copilot premium request usage, model multipliers, code review consumption, and personal or team tracking.
When Cursor Max Mode Uses More of Your Allowance
Know when Cursor Max Mode is worth the extra usage, how long context changes consumption, and how to measure value per task.
How to Track Cursor Usage Across Models
Understand Cursor's model-based usage, dashboard breakdowns, and the signals to watch when switching between Auto, premium, and Max modes.
