2 tokens/s decode and 40 tokens/s prefill https://argonautlabs.ai/ Points: 2 # Comments: 0

For developers and teams considering local inference, the post suggests a large model may run on a single GPU, but the decode speed of 2 tokens per second is slow for interactive use. The 40 tokens per second prefill figure indicates how quickly input text is processed. Readers should look for the linked project's documentation and independent benchmarks before drawing conclusions.

Hardware and robotics watchers may want to track whether this becomes a product, benchmark, or deployment signal.
