Gemma 3 270M

292 tokens a second on Linux · L4 23 GB · 12 CPUs · 53 GB RAM. No hosted API sells it, so this network is the place to run it.

7 builds of Gemma 3 270M, 13 signed runs on real machines: different packagers, precisions and engines, each a different file with its own numbers.

What it fits on

The smallest build needs about 0.2 GB; 18 of 18 kinds of machine on the network can hold it. Bars: each kind's memory (its card's, else RAM) · ticks: every build, at the size it held plus a fifth for the prompt.

How far back it remembers, machine by machine

Filled: the needle came back at that prompt size · outlined: asked and lost · blank: not asked · trained for 32K. 11 walks ended because the model forgot, 0 because the machine could not hold the prompt.

Carbon per million tokens

Lowest build on each machine · 2 of 6 read off a power sensor, the rest modelled from the parts · fewer grams is better

Carbon is location-based: signed energy × the yearly average of the grid where the machine signed its place (world grid average (place not signed) · India grid average · world grid average (Singapore not in the table); Ember Global Electricity Review 2025 (2024 generation), location-based). Facility overhead is not included. A machine on its own solar is not credited until it can prove it.
