FAQ **How is the estimated decode speed calculated?** Estimated speed = (memory bandwidth × GPU count) ÷ (active parameters × bytes per parameter): the memory-bound upper limit for one request (roofline). It scales linearly with GPU count and ignores interconnect overhead, batching and framework losses, so real results are usually well below it. **Can I trust the speed numbers for consumer GPUs?** The linear assumption is reasonable for NVLink data-center cards (H/B series) but too optimistic for consumer PCIe cards without NVLink (RTX 5090D/4090D); multi-GPU consumer setups lose far more to communication, so equal-looking numbers do not mean equal performance. **How is “Suggested precision” chosen?** It is the highest precision that fits within 8 GPUs; beyond that it is flagged as multi-node. **Where do the prices come from?** USD converted at ¥6.68 per USD. Cloud rental is the international vast.ai market rate, not a China purchase price.
