Current rows only, grouped by benchmark → canonical metric → comparability group (task configuration). Effort variants folded into this model appear as rows of the same group. 44 current rows in total. “vs leader” compares with the current leader of the benchmark's primary group only; other groups are not directly comparable.

Assumptions (7)
  • Estimated, not measured: weights = parameters × bytes/param × 1.15 runtime overhead (or the observed artifact file size when one is recorded).
  • bytes/param: 4bit = 0.5, 8bit = 1.0, fp16 = 2.0 (uniform quantization, no per-layer exceptions).
  • KV cache: 2 × layers × kv_heads × head_dim × 2 bytes × context × batch when the architecture is known; otherwise 0.5 GB per 8 192 tokens (× batch), independent of architecture (GQA/MLA models need less).
  • A model 'fits' when the estimate is at most the device memory minus 2 GB reserved for the OS and framework.
  • Mixture-of-experts models are estimated on total parameters (all experts must be resident); active parameters are ignored.
  • Device memory uses the largest configuration when several are listed (e.g. Apple silicon tiers).
  • Multi-GPU: device memories are summed; interconnect bandwidth, tensor-parallel replication and pipeline bubbles are not modelled.
