HARDWARE NOTES
We ran it on a Mac
We ran the Q4_K_M GGUF (0.55 GB, cloudsurf-software/CloudSurf-1B-GGUF @1ff15bc) on an Apple M4 Max Mac, 128 GiB unified memory, macOS 27.0.1, Metal with llama.cpp b11912 (upstream, 961c376) on 30 Oct 2026.
Decode: 384.2 tok/s on a short prompt, 343.9 tok/s on a long prompt (medians of 3 runs).
Peak memory: 1.31 GiB (llama-server footprint).
llama-bench: pp512 6,800.5 tok/s, tg128 414.8 tok/s.
Answer checks: 1 of 4 prompts passed (quick pass/fail sanity checks, not a quality benchmark).
We ran CloudSurf's official Q4_K_M GGUF of this model.
This is a base model: it continues text and does not follow instructions. We ran it as raw text completion (no chat template) at 2K context, its trained context length, with repeat penalty 1.1.
It ran to the 512-token output cap on every prompt, so the answer checks are informational only; decode speed counts every generated token.
One machine, one run set: temperature 0, 2K context, 1 warm-up plus 3 runs per prompt. Short prompt is 12 tokens; long prompt is 1,496 tokens (each model counts with its own tokenizer). Weights were loaded from an external USB drive with mmap off; load time is not published for this run. Your speed will differ with hardware, context length and settings.
