LM Arena ratings of October 28, 2026 (CC BY 4.0): people vote between two answers without knowing which model wrote which. The bar ends at 1488, the best any open model has. The Arena tests the full model; a small size on a Mac answers a little worse.

The largest size, of those that keep three bits a weight or more, whose memory at an 8K chat is under 92% of the card's; the rest is the desktop's. Estimated from the files, the same way as for a Mac; speed on a PC is not estimated yet. A size that doesn't fit the card still runs, slower, with part of it in ordinary memory.
