Why it matters

Useful for Apple Silicon users running on-device LLMs (LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX) who want to see how a workload actually drives the GPU vs. the ANE vs. memory bandwidth — the dashboard specifically tracks on-device AI loads and the on-demand `Measure tok/s` benchmark reports tokens/sec + tokens/Wh per model which is the per-Mac evaluation surface; for engineers deciding between M-series c
