    Where the speeds come from

    • Prompt estimated from llama.cpp ROCm median efficiency 0.3468 (n=116) × vendor FP16 TFLOPS ÷ (2 × active params).
    • Generate estimated from llama.cpp ROCm median efficiency 0.5586 (n=117) × memory bandwidth ÷ 4.7 GiB read per token.
    • 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.
