Intent judging, tool routing and arg extraction are classification/JSON calls,
not the spoken answer, yet the stack aliased OLLAMA_INTENT_MODEL back to the big
chat model — so each command paid the big model's cost 2-3 times for routing
before the reply even ran. With the GPU on, that round-trip stacking is the main
remaining per-turn latency. Default OLLAMA_INTENT_MODEL to qwen2.5:3b (the
project's reference small model, clean Korean on classification) and have
ollama-init pull it. The reply engine already routes these calls through
intent_judge_model, so answer quality is untouched; set OLLAMA_INTENT_MODEL =
OLLAMA_CHAT_MODEL to fold back onto one resident model.
