""" 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.
