โšก Architecture & Throughput Transparency: Single-user decode speed (~0 tok/s) is memory-bandwidth bound at batch size = 1 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (16GB GDDR7) (896 GB/s). Prompt prefill / TTFT (~0 tok/s) is compute-bound and utilizes GPU Tensor cores. Actual latency varies with FlashAttention-2 and runtime engine (Ollama/vLLM/llama.cpp).
