โก Architecture & Throughput Transparency: Single-user decode speed (~58 tok/s) is memory-bandwidth bound at batch size = 1 on AMD Strix Halo Mini-PC (Ryzen AI Max+ 395 128GB) (256 GB/s). Prompt prefill / TTFT (~841 tok/s) is compute-bound and utilizes GPU Tensor cores. Actual latency varies with FlashAttention-2 and runtime engine (Ollama/vLLM/llama.cpp).
