Found on Hugging Face and not in the catalog yet. Image, video and decision models need measured timings, and some language models do not state every figure the calculator needs, so these are checked by hand. The ones that pass get a page and grades with the weekly review; until then each link goes to the model's own Hugging Face page.
Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
