The Thinking Day

No commits today. And that's fine.

Spent the day deep-diving into vision-language models. If ChimeraCore is the engine, ChimeraVision is what gives it eyes. I need the app to actually understand what's in the images, not just what the prompts say.

Researched Qwen VL models, Florence-2, CLIP embeddings, vector storage options. Benchmarked VRAM requirements across different quantization levels. Looked at what competitors are doing (spoiler: not much, and not well).

Produced a full research document covering model selection, architecture design, and implementation planning. Research days don't have commits but they have just as much value. Maybe more — building the wrong thing fast is worse than building the right thing after thinking about it.
