1/4 core tests · not enough evidence

2 benchmark results for this configuration

Scientific reasoning

GPQA Diamond · 25%

Expert-written science questions; strict multiple-choice scoring. Chance accuracy is 25%.

Qwen3-8B 47.5*% Approx. 95% interval: 42.3–52.6%

Novel problem solving

Mystery Game Puzzles · 25%

Best-next-move puzzles in an undisclosed game variant. A narrow reasoning test, not general intelligence.

Qwen3-8B Not available

Advanced mathematics

FrontierMath Tiers 1-3 · 25%

Private v2 mathematics problems with Python tools. Earlier versions and Tier 4 are excluded.

Qwen3-8B Not available

Factual answers

SimpleQA Verified · 25%

Correct factual answers under a guessing prompt, graded by a model. Not a hallucination or abstention score.

Qwen3-8B Not available

Competition mathematics

OTIS Mock AIME 2024-2025 · Separate result

Competition problems with model-extracted answers checked against an exact key. Earlier grading procedures are excluded.

Qwen3-8B 22.2*% Approx. 95% interval: 13.3–31.1%

Bars show reported task scores. Whiskers are approximate 95% intervals where standard errors are available. Different reasoning budgets are not equal-cost tests. Missing results are never zero.

One user, full model in accelerator memory.

GPUs with memory headroom

Local AI systems with memory headroom

Shared-memory systems use a planning budget of 75% of installed memory, leaving 25% for the OS and other allocations. This is an assumption, not a measured GPU allocation. Firmware and driver limits may be lower and may require configuration. Memory matches do not verify a runtime, quantized model artifact or inference speed.

Includes FP16 KV cache, prompt plus generated tokens, quantization metadata and a runtime allowance. GPU matches reserve 10% of VRAM. Memory fit is not a speed or software-compatibility guarantee; quantized weights and runtime support must be available.

API cost

USD / month

Standard text-token estimate. Excludes taxes, caching, batch discounts, reasoning and multimodal surcharges. Provider limits and regional availability may differ.
