Run the token speed script to evaluate your LLM's throughput in realistic scenarios.
What to do now
Run the token speed script to evaluate your LLM's throughput in realistic scenarios.
Summary
A developer shares a script that converts objective token/sec numbers into a subjective feel for LLM performance. The script supports text, code, and reasoning+code workloads, allowing users to better interpret throughput figures such as 21 tokens/s versus 10 tokens/s. The author emphasizes that raw token/sec numbers can be misleading without context.
This tool is valuable for developers who need to evaluate LLM performance in realistic scenarios rather than relying solely on raw benchmarks.
The script is open source and can be used to benchmark any local LLM setup.
Key changes
- script provides subjective feel for token/sec
- supports text, code, reasoning+code
- helps interpret 21 t/s vs 10 t/s
- useful for realistic scenario evaluation
