The passage around this formula
…B , the largest catalogue that fits is roughly (B - )/ . The model is a reasonable first approximation, and it is also the assumption a tenfold per-tool variance directly undermines: is not a constant of the tool, it is a property of how verbosely that tool’s schema and description happen to be written, which is an editorial choice rather than a physical fact about the function. A recent controlled study of exactly this trade-off tested fourteen models from 1.5B to 32B…
