Inference speed
OpenHermes 2.5 7B inference speed — tokens per second by GPU & Mac
Estimated decode speed (tokens/sec) for OpenHermes 2.5 7B at Q4_K_M across popular GPUs and Apple Silicon, using the fastest local runtime per device. Fastest is RTX 5090 32GB at ~98 tok/s. Speed is memory-bandwidth bound, so cards that fit the whole model in VRAM run far faster than ones that offload to system RAM.
