Testing & Verification Requirements
This section describes what we actually do, not more. We own one machine we benchmark on (an Apple M3 Pro with 18 GB of unified memory) and have measured one rented GPU (an NVIDIA L4 with 24 GB, on Google Cloud), so most performance figures on this site are calculated ceilings or quoted from named third parties, and they are labelled that way.
How Speeds Are Reported
- ✓Default: a labelled ceiling, e.g. "~43 tok/s ceiling" = vendor memory bandwidth (GB/s, from the vendor spec page) ÷ model file size (GB, as Ollama lists it)
- ✓Real speeds land below the ceiling; the label says so wherever the number appears
- ✓Measured speeds come only from our own runs: the Apple M3 Pro (18 GB), currently on Ollama 0.40.13, 2 November 2026 (an October 2026 run on Ollama 0.12.3 stays in the dataset with its date), and a rented NVIDIA L4 (24 GB) on Ollama 0.40.13, 3 November 2026; 7 runs per model, harness and raw output kept in the repo
- ✓A rented-GPU row is published only when two separate hosts agree on it
- ✓A number measured on one machine is never copied onto another
- ✓Mixture-of-experts and diffusion models get no tok/s figure, because the simple ceiling does not apply to them
Model Facts & Quality Claims
- ✓Every Ollama pull/run tag checked against the live Ollama registry before it is published
- ✓Model file sizes and quantisation taken from the registry manifest, not from memory
- ✓Context window, parameters and licence taken from the developer's model card
- ✓Quality scores quoted only from named benchmarks or leaderboards, with the date
- ✓No invented quality scores, ratings, or "% of GPT" comparisons
Technical Specification Validation
- ✓Direct verification against manufacturer specifications
- ✓Model architecture details confirmed from official repositories
- ✓Training data and methodology described as the developer reports it
- ✓License terms and usage restrictions documented accurately
- ✓Version numbers and release dates cross-checked
Install Guides & Commands
- ✓Install steps follow the tool's official documentation and current release notes
- ✓Configuration examples checked against the documented options
- ✓Troubleshooting entries matched to the error text users actually report
- ✓Commands and model tags checked to exist before publication
- ✓Version numbers and compatibility notes taken from official release pages
