Each row as the index holds it, with its source. “Mac RAM” is the memory of the Mac a run used, not the model’s requirement (96 GB). The headline figure follows the reference rule: the lower-median measured plain-decode run at 5 bits or fewer (a run whose quant was not stated counts only when no stated-quant run qualifies), else the estimate; a run marked “not used to anchor estimates” is listed here but never becomes the headline.

The 44 tok/s figure above came from MLX at oQ4e; other runtimes and quants run at different speeds.
