Many are aware, just can’t offload it onto their hardware.
The 8B models are easier to run on an RTX to compare it to local inference. What llama does on an RTX 5080 at 40t/s, Furiosa should do at 40,000t/s or whatever… it’s an easy way to have a flat comparison across all the different hardware llama.cpp runs on.
I think you are comparing latency with throughput. You can't take the inverse of latency to get throughput because concurrency is unknown. But then, RNGD result is probably with concurrency=1.
I thought they were saying it was more efficient, as in tokens per watt. I didn’t see a direct comparison on that metric but maybe I didn’t look well enough.
It still kind of makes the point that you are stuck with a very limited range of models that they are hand implementing. But at least it's a model I would actually use. Give me that in a box I can put in a standard data center with normal power supply and I'm definitely interested.
I think Llama 3 focus mostly reflects demand. It may be hard to believe, but many people aren't even aware gpt-oss exists.
