Speed estimation: how fast will it actually feel?
Two-tier design, with provenance the UI always shows:
1. TRAINED MODEL (when present): an XGBoost regressor trained on real
community measurements (LocalScore; 6,633 training rows derived from
those sources), following the
methodology of LLM-Pilot (IBM, SC'24, arXiv:2410.02425 — gradient
boosting over hardware+model features, grouped k-fold by accelerator
label; NOT a strict leave-one-hardware-out split, ~48% alias overlap).
Loaded from model/speed_model.skops if scripts/train_speed_model.py
has been run. method = "measured-model".
2. ROOFLINE BASELINE (always available, fully offline): decode is memory-
bandwidth-bound — tok/s ~ bandwidth / bytes-read-per-token (weights +
KV), times an empirical efficiency factor. See kipply's "Transformer
Inference Arithmetic" and the JAX scaling book inference chapter.
method = "roofline".
The anti-gimmick rule lives in the training script: the trained model ships
only if it beats this baseline on held-out hardware; otherwise the baseline
IS the product and the UI says so.
Scope note (honest): this predicts LLM/VLM decode speed. Vision (YOLO) and
diffusion models are COMPUTE-bound, not bandwidth-bound — FPS scales with
TFLOPS / model GFLOPs, a different axis with different data (Ultralytics
publishes per-size GFLOPs and official T4 latencies; dbgpu has per-GPU
TFLOPS). That path is designed in SPEED-BRICK-RESEARCH.md §8 but not built;
non-LLM families keep their provenance-labelled memory verdicts only, rather
than getting fake speed numbers.
