No benchmark results recorded

Results appear when a tier 1–3 source publishes them; we never copy scores without a source.

Current prices

No current prices recorded

Prices appear when a provider publishes a public pricing page we crawl.

Estimated

Memory need = bytes per parameter (4-bit ≈ 0.5 × 1.15 overhead, 8-bit 1.0, fp16 2.0) + a KV-cache allowance. Not a measurement.
