Where it runs
Best-fitting version on each reference system, at an 8K contextHow much text the model can consider at once, counted in tokens — roughly ¾ of a word each..

Versions & downloads
Each version is a separate set of weights. Expand one for its downloads: quantizationStoring each of the model’s numbers with fewer bits, so the file is smaller and needs less memory. trades a little quality for a much smaller file, and the memory column adds the working memoryExtra space the model needs while it answers. It grows with the length of the conversation, on top of the file itself. a conversation needs on top.

Benchmarks
Each benchmarkA fixed set of questions every model is given, so their scores can be compared on the same task. score is labelled with who produced it. Developer-reported scores use each lab’s own prompts and settings; a benchmark that runs every model itself uses one setup for all. Bars are relative to the best open result.
Community
