Same build, different machines

IQ3_XXS by unsloth on 4 machines: the fastest decodes 286× as fast as the slowest. One dot per machine, tokens per second.

What it fits on

The smallest build needs about 2.0 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 40K. 2 walks ended because the model forgot, 1 because the machine could not hold the prompt.

Carbon per million tokens

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

  1. Gram ·a5be46211 g1.98 J/tok · sensor
  2. Gram ·dae679308 g2.34 J/tok · sensor

Carbon is location-based: signed energy × the yearly average of the grid where the machine signed its place (United States 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.

Measured by

The people whose machines signed these numbers

proved by at least one build: Tool calling · Tool loop finished · Faithful to tool results · Chained tool calls · Structured output · Sustained output · Extended thinking · Vision · Counts in images · Spatial reasoning · 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.
