Small models, cost bracket
Quality figures for models that fit on one accelerator, grouped so that a buyer can see what a small deployment gives up. This set contains no prices and is not a price-performance ranking.
Every score in this set is republished from the model publisher’s own model card or vendor report and names that source per entry. LLM EU has run no evaluation, has not reproduced any score, and has not verified the harness settings. Vendor-reported numbers are self-reported and are labelled as such on the model cards. LLM EU publishes no price data in this set and has run no cost or throughput benchmark, so the rows must not be read as value for money: each metric is stated per row and the models differ in size, licence and serving requirements.
