⚠ Will spill 22.3 GB of weights to system RAM (~5× slower per offloaded layer). Use llama.cpp’s --cpu-offload-gb or vLLM’s --swap-space.

Throughput is a sub-linear estimate: doubling users adds ~70 % of single-user TPS until ~8, then plateaus on memory bandwidth. MoE models scale concurrency much better because each user activates a different subset of experts.
