Llama 3.2 3B

225 tokens a second on Windows · NVIDIA 12 GB · 16 CPUs · 16 GB RAM. About $1.14 per million tokens here, against OpenRouter's $0.33: the API is 3.5× cheaper. Run it here for privacy or to keep work on your own machines, not to save money.

13 builds of Llama 3.2 3B, 17 signed runs on real machines: different packagers, precisions and engines, each a different file with its own numbers. 3.2B parameters, as the vendor states.

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. 1 walk ended because the model forgot, 2 because the machine could not hold the prompt.

Carbon per million tokens

Lowest build on each machine · 3 of 3 read off a power sensor, the rest modelled from the parts · fewer grams is better

  1. Gram ·dae679158 g1.20 J/tok · sensor
  2. Gram ·a5be46798 g7.49 J/tok · sensor
  3. Gram ·84bf541.2 kg6.26 J/tok · sensor

Carbon is location-based: signed energy × the yearly average of the grid where the machine signed its place (world grid average (Singapore not in the table) · United States grid average · India grid average; 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 · Faithful to tool results · Structured output · Sustained output · Writes code · Reasons about code · Synthesises sources · Follows instructions

Every build

Each its own file with its own page: the machines that ran it and their signatures.
