Fine print

nemotron_h_moe, 53 layers, 2688 hidden. Only one model artifact and quantization are measured; no cross-quantization, cross-runtime, or later-weight transfer is claimed. Measurements, artifact hashes, outputs, quality decisions, and speed stay pinned to their exact recorded identity.

1 combination the lab has stopped pursuing: The artifact declares a 1,048,576-token native window, but this package has measured context-depth evidence only through 32,768 tokens. evidence Exact selectors are in the family data.

Many people at once Not measured

Multi-user (aggregate) throughput has not been measured for this family. The lab’s one measured sweep so far is in the multi-user report; the projection block below includes a projected users curve where a projection exists.

How much faster could this get? No projection

No projection is shown: the family has no curated headline measurement yet. The measured numbers above stand on their own.
