Working starter tool / v0.1

Model capacity estimator

Estimate model-weight memory, device fit and a bandwidth-bound token-rate ceiling for an inference setup.

Compute estimate inputs
Method

What it calculates

Weight memory is parameter count × precision. Runtime memory adds the chosen overhead. Token rate divides usable aggregate memory bandwidth by model-weight size.

Boundary

What it does not prove

The token rate is a bandwidth-only planning estimate for weight streaming, not a benchmark. It excludes KV cache growth, activations, compute limits, communication and serving overhead.

Build on the mission

Use it, inspect it, prepare the next build.

Independent starter tool. This lab is functional software, but it is intentionally narrow and does not claim to complete the full Open Compute Bench roadmap. Benchmarks must disclose methodology, software versions and hardware configuration.
