Speeds are single-user decode estimates, not measurements. "ModelFit est." comes from ModelFit's model fitted on published runs (CC BY 4.0); "our est." is memory bandwidth divided by bytes read per token, times 0.55. Memory is what the best build needs, against what the machine can give a model. Method
