How it’s rated

Quality 80Great quality (A) · 80 of 100: how capable the model is at MXFP4, whatever it runs on. Match score 71/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at MXFP4, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Very slowtight fit: How well it runs on the AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS NAS (96 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

PrecisionEditorial precision tier from the model’s published benchmarks, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	36.0 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of the NAS’s memory that models can use (the rest stays with the NAS system and its storage services); fewer when it goes past that limit.	24.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.	1.0 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.	10.0 / 15
Match score	71.0 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.
