Benchmarks
Each benchmarkA fixed set of questions every model is given, so their scores can be compared on the same task. is developer-reported; prompts and settings differ between labs. Bars are relative to the best open result.
Variants & downloads
Each variant 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.
