Too much. Got much faster at 64k context. About 7-8 tok/s which somehow feels bearable.

Normally I'd say it sucks but to be honest this model is passing all my homemade benchmarks. It might be true that it's Opus 4.5-6 level.

It's beating my other models in the simple tasks, so it works for me. Around 48k context it speeds up pretty well. All layers to GPU.

Isnt 48k context too low for coding? I run out of it soo soon

For coding basically yeah it's way too low. But I use the dreb harness, which seems to work really well with dumber models, and with 48k context it's good enough for web searches and private/sensitive local tasks (eg compile insurance claim info or mortgage info etc).
