What do these scores mean?

Two ways to compare models. Neither score measures answer quality, benchmark performance, or whether a model fits your machine.

Freshness · release age

A new release starts at 100. The score halves every 180 days: 100 × 2^(−age in days / 180). When the release date is unavailable, a repository date is a fallback—not proof of when the model was released. Missing dates stay unscored.

Popularity · adoption

Downloads over the past 30 days carry 80% of the score; lifetime likes carry 20%. Both use a logarithmic scale, capped at 10 million downloads and 100,000 likes. If likes are unavailable, downloads carry all the weight. Missing download statistics stay unscored.

Best for

  • Private bilingual reasoning endpoint.
  • Agentic tool use on a rented or owned multi-GPU Linux server.

Tradeoffs

  • Requires substantial accelerator memory; active parameter count does not make it a consumer-GPU model.
  • A 1M-token context is documented, but the publisher recommends no more than 262K for serving efficiency and complex tasks.

Ways to run it

Aleph Alpha inference plugin + vLLM · Linux multi-GPU server; Windows and macOS can connect as clients

Publisher lists minimum 4× A100 80 GB, 4× H100 SXM5, 2× H200, 1× B200 or 1× B300; recommended configurations differ. Start with short context and compare rental availability.
