    Where the speeds come from

    • Prompt estimated from median of 20 measured prefill points for this device (llama.cpp CUDA), rescaled to this model.
    • Generate estimated from median of 24 measured decode points for this device (llama.cpp CUDA), rescaled to this model.
    • First token 4K-token prompt ÷ estimated prefill speed. Excludes model load and queueing.

    Caveats

    • KV-cache size could not be established from the config (compressed or backend-specific attention).
    • Fixed recurrent/convolution state is unknown and not included.
    • Text-only budget. A downloadable file does not prove your runtime supports this architecture.
