We dissect the practical deployment strategies from 8-GPU tensor parallelism to single-GPU quantization and Apple Silicon optimization, demonstrating how focused specialization enables frontier search performance at 1/50th the parameter count of comparable general-purpose models—proving that intelligent constraints and targeted training trump raw scale in the evolving landscape of AI agents.
