An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.

## Other Reported Results

These results are listed for each model on its own, because the conditions needed to compare them are not stated or do not match. Two results that leave a condition blank are not assumed to share it.

## SAVRN's Notes on DeepSeek-R1

Plan around 410.7 GB for DeepSeek-R1. That is what the 4-bit build needs, and the cheapest cover is two MI325X cards at 256 GB each, $4.00 an hour on demand. The 8-bit build doubles the need to 821.4 GB and three MI355X cards at $7.77 an hour; full 16-bit weights take 1,642.8 GB across seven MI325X cards at $14.00. Only 8 of the 256 routed experts work on each token, so the 684.5 billion parameters are mostly a memory bill, and the 163,840-token context is what that memory buys you.

MIT terms permit commercial use, modification and redistribution with the notice attached, so a fine-tuned internal copy can be run and shipped. Before buying, set the $4.00-an-hour floor against Novita's SAVRN Index rate of $0.70 in and $2.50 out per million tokens, and budget the 688.6 GB, 174-file transfer.

## SAVRN's Notes on DeepSeek-V3.2

685.4B parameters and 3.3M downloads a month make this the heavyweight of the group, and the Index prices a three-rung ladder: 4-bit needs 411.2 GB, two MI325X at $4.00 an hour; 8-bit needs 822.4 GB, three MI355X at $7.77; 16-bit needs 1,644.9 GB, seven MI325X at $14.00. The mixture-of-experts design, DeepSeek Sparse Attention and a 163,840-token window are aimed at reasoning and agent work, and the safetensors download alone is 689.5 GB across 192 files.

Rent-or-own is a real choice: DeepInfra lists $0.26 in and $0.38 out per million tokens, Novita $0.27 and $0.40 — price your monthly volume against the $4.00-an-hour 4-bit floor before buying cards. MIT is the most permissive license on this list, commercial use with just the notice preserved. Treat the recorded evals (Claw-Eval 42.2 general and 31.6 multi-turn, WildClawBench overall 34, all third-party reported) as agentic-suite indicators, not general capability scores.
