FYI you should have used llama.cpp to do the benchmarks. It performs almost 20x faster than ollama for the gpt-oss-120b model. Here are some samples results on my spark:

Is this the full weight model or quantized version? The GGUFs distributed on Hugging Face labeled as MXFP4 quantization have layers that are quantized to int8 (q8_0) instead of bf16 as suggested by OpenAI.

Example looking at blk.0.attn_k.weight, it's q8_0 amongst other layers:

Example looking at the same weight on Ollama is BF16:

I see! Do you know what's causing the slowdown for ollama? They should be using the same backend..

Dude, ggerganov is the creator of llama.cpp. Kind of a legend. And of course he is right, you should've used llama.cpp.

Or you can just ask the ollama people about the ollama problems. Ollama is (or was) just a Go wrapper around llama.cpp.

Now this looks much more interesting! Is the top one input tokens and the second one output tokens?

So 38.54 t/s on 120B? Have you tested filling the context too?

[ggerganov]

Yes, I provided detailed numbers here: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/discussions/16578

Makes sense you have one of the boxes. What's your take on it? [Respecting any NDAs/etc/etc of course]

Curious to how this compares to running on a Mac.

TTFT on a Mac is terrible and only increases as the context increases, thats why many are selling their M3 Ultra 512GB
