THE 5090 REPORTS // the lab notes behind the desk

I run open models on my own GPUs and publish the results.

Each report shows the model, quant, prompt, hardware, speed, VRAM use, and what broke. AgentGuard handles spend limits, loops, timeouts, and rate limits.

pat@5090:~$ agentguard --status

I use AgentGuard to stop spend, loops, timeouts, and rate-limit failures before a test touches real work.
