11 tokens a second on Linux · no GPU · 4 CPUs · 31 GB RAM. No hosted API sells it, so this network is the place to run it.
6 builds of Granite 4.0 1B, 7 signed runs on real machines: different packagers, precisions and engines, each a different file with its own numbers.
trained 128K · proved 4K context, by ibm-granite Q4_0
11.9 tok/s peak, by ibm-granite Q4_0
Speed against price, every machine
Up and left is faster and cheaper · the line joins machines no other beats on both · price on a log scale
What it fits on
The smallest build needs about 1.2 GB; 17 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 128K. 2 walks ended because the model forgot, 5 because the machine could not hold the prompt.

Carbon per million tokens
Lowest build on each machine · 0 of 2 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 (EU grid average (applied to NL) · world grid average (place not signed); 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.
Measured by
The people whose machines signed these numbers
proved by at least one build: Tool calling · Tool loop finished · Structured output · Sustained output · Writes code · Follows instructions
Each its own file with its own page: the machines that ran it and their signatures.
