Llama 3.2 1B

20 tokens a second on Mac · Apple silicon · 8 CPUs · 8 GB RAM. About $2.66 per million tokens here, against OpenRouter's $0.20: the API is 13× cheaper. Run it here for privacy or to keep work on your own machines, not to save money.

9 builds of Llama 3.2 1B, 28 signed runs on real machines: different packagers, precisions and engines, each a different file with its own numbers. 1.2B parameters, as the vendor states.

What it fits on

The smallest build needs about 0.7 GB; 13 of 13 kinds of machine on the network can hold it. Bars: each kind's memory (its card's, else RAM) · ticks: every build, at the size it held plus a fifth for the prompt.

How far back it remembers, machine by machine

Filled: the needle came back at that prompt size · outlined: asked and lost · blank: not asked · trained for 128K. 3 walks ended because the model forgot, 1 because the machine could not hold the prompt.

The 14 longest of 19 walks; every one is on its build's page.

Carbon per million tokens

Lowest build on each machine · 0 of 5 read off a power sensor, the rest modelled from the parts · fewer grams is better

Carbon is location-based: signed energy × the yearly average of the grid where the machine signed its place (United States grid average · world grid average (Singapore not in the table) · world grid average (place not signed) · India grid average; Ember Global Electricity Review 2025 (2024 generation), location-based). Facility overhead is not included. A machine on its own solar is not credited until it can prove it.

Measured by

The people whose machines signed these numbers

proved by at least one build: Tool calling · Tool loop finished · Faithful to tool results · Structured output · Sustained output · Writes code · Synthesises sources · Follows instructions

Every build

Each its own file with its own page: the machines that ran it and their signatures.
