Best app to run it on the UP Squared Pro 7000 (8 GB)

On Windows

vLLM

Inference server · runs on vLLM

Serves the scoring head directly (rerank, classify or reward) with batching.
On Windows it runs through WSL2.

vllm serve zeroentropy/zerank-1-small-reranker

Sentence Transformers Can only use the CPU on this hardware, so it will be slow.

On Linux

vLLM

Inference server · runs on vLLM

vllm serve zeroentropy/zerank-1-small-reranker

Sentence Transformers Can only use the CPU on this hardware, so it will be slow.

How we choose: the files published for this model, your operating system and GPU, whether it fits fully in memory, and published speed tests (MLX vs llama.cpp on Apple silicon, vLLM vs llama.cpp vs Ollama on NVIDIA). Details.

How it’s rated

Quality 79Great quality (A) · 79 of 100: how capable the model is at Q6_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 79/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at Q6_K, 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 Slow: How well it runs on the UP Squared Pro 7000 (8 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.	35.6 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of unified memory the GPU can use; fewer when it goes past that limit.	25.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.	4.1 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.	15.0 / 15
Match score	79.8 / 100

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