Board picker

Which board should I buy?

Pick a budget and the size of model you want to run. We rank the boards by the fastest measured speed in that size class, using only sourced runs and listed prices.

1. Budget

2. Model size

Examples: under 1B = Qwen2.5 0.5B; 1–2B = Qwen2.5 1.5B, Llama 3.2 1B; 3–4B = Llama 3.2 3B, Phi-3.5; 6–9B = Llama 3.1 8B, Qwen2.5 7B; 10B+ = Llama 2 13B.

Speed shown is the best single sourced run for that board in the size class (generation tok/s). Prices are listed prices from our price list, not including PSU, storage or shipping. 10+ tok/s feels like chat, 4–10 is usable, under 4 is slow.
