What it fits on

Ordered by predicted speed. Bandwidth sets decode rate; memory decides whether it runs at all.

Every figure here is computed, not measured. Fit is weights at each quantisation against device memory, with a 25% allowance for the KV cache, activations and the OS. Decode rate is the memory-bandwidth roofline at 70% efficiency. Nobody has run this model on these devices. This is a mixture-of-experts model and no card carries active-parameter counts, so these predictions use total parameters and understate the real speed.
