Measurement limits
Speed tests read 256 input tokens and generate 128 output tokens, repeated ten times. The output speed test starts without a long conversation history. Answer time uses six fixed prompts with up to 128 output tokens, repeated three times. First-text time is measured from the application making the request. Peak memory includes the loaded model; it excludes other applications on the device. Longer prompts may need more memory. Capability uses a fixed selection of public questions, rather than the full official benchmarks.
