One model, two PCs. You be the judge.
The same model, on two identical RTX 4090s. PC A is pressed by Trapetum to 4-bit (5.5 GB); PC B runs it uncompressed in fp16 (15.2 GB). Same weights, same card, same prompt, the only difference is the compression. Send one prompt to both and read the tokens per second yourself.
PC A, Trapetum 4-bit
PC B, fp16 uncompressed
Both PCs are rented RTX 4090s (RunPod community cloud), specs pinned. During your test each GPU serves you alone, batch-1, exactly like running these two machines at home.

Why these numbers are real
- Same model, same card. Identical DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B weights on two identical RTX 4090s. The only variable is Trapetum's 4-bit compression on PC A.
- The clock is honest. Each panel's tok/s is measured only between the first and last streamed chunk, network latency to the pod is excluded from the rate.
- Nothing is cached. Both PCs decode every prompt fresh; nothing is stored between sessions.
Curious how the 4-bit weights get there, and why decode is bandwidth-bound? The full method and raw numbers live on the benchmarks page. New to Trapetum? Read what Trapetum does, in plain language, see the models that fit a 24 GB card, or install Trapetum on your own machine.
