1-click launch on pinokio https://pinokio.co/apps/github-com-blizaine-maestro

Audience: Maestro users who cannot comfortably run the full model.

Hardware: A lower-VRAM NVIDIA setup; use current Maestro documentation for the actual minimum.

Prerequisites

A current Maestro release
Pruned 20B weights
Turbo weights

Steps

Select the pruned 20B model and six-step Turbo.
Run a fixed-input baseline and record VRAM.
Enable First Block Cache only if still needed, then inspect quality again.

Caveats

Cache is another variable; do not claim lossless stacking with Turbo without testing.
