Language — decode, prefill and first token
Grouped by model and by what was measured, and inside a group sorted by power cap ascending — alphabetical and numeric, never by value. The heading of a group carries everything that does not change inside it; each row carries the value and the conditions that do. A condition the page does not state reads not stated, which is a third thing and not an uncapped card. A † means the same reading is printed in a second place on its exhibit — one reading, two printings, not two figures.

Where one condition moved, and nothing else
busy-window draw — power cap apart
The same moe gemma (fp8), sustained
- 419.0 — 450 W The mechanism, checked rather than inferred
- 412.8 — 600 W The mechanism, checked rather than inferred
Every row above is the same card and the same MoE gemma (FP8), sustained. The only thing that moved is the power cap. That is why nothing on this page is ranked, and why a condition is part of a row rather than a heading above one.
seconds per sketch — concurrency apart
