Community leaderboard

Fastest rigs, ranked by real benchmarks

Find the fastest measured hardware for each model and the most decode throughput per dollar. Rankings use community medians, with the model and quantization kept visible.

prelim means one or two reports; three or more confirms the community median. Reports can use different runtimes, contexts and run setups. These are measured decode speeds, not capability scores or matching-run comparisons.

Most tokens per dollar

Measured decode tok/s per $1,000 of indicative device cost. Only rigs with a known price qualify. Catalog prices are not a complete ownership-cost estimate; model size and quantization differ between entries.

Fastest rig per model

Each model has its own ranking, ordered by community median decode speed. Every measured quant remains a separate entry.
