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 Kronos-Tokenizer-base
The memory line reads 0.0 GB at 16-bit, 8-bit and 4-bit, and that is no error. This is the tokenizer stage of Kronos, a decoder-only family built for financial candlesticks: it quantizes OHLCV K-line data into hierarchical discrete tokens for the autoregressive Transformer in stage two. At 4M parameters and 15.85 MB it will not decide your hardware. The cheapest option we list, a single MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 an hour on-demand, is sized for the second stage, not this piece.
MIT is as light as licenses get: commercial use, modification and redistribution are permitted as long as the copyright and permission notices travel with the files. The check is scope. This page carries no context length and no configuration block, so get the second-stage model and its limits before planning a deployment. Training data came from over 45 global exchanges; confirm yours are covered.
Questions
Which is larger, Kronos-Tokenizer-base or Toto-2.0-4m?
Toto-2.0-4m (4M parameters) is larger than Kronos-Tokenizer-base (4M parameters), by the parameter counts their publishers report.
Which is cheaper to run, Kronos-Tokenizer-base or Toto-2.0-4m?
At 4-bit, Kronos-Tokenizer-base fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour and Toto-2.0-4m on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.
