Evaluation of the inference efficiency metrics, including theoretical and empirical Time To First Token (TTFT), compute usage, and memory traffic, for the LLaMA 8B model configured with a 32,000 token context length (version 3.1).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Inference Efficiency |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | LLaMA 8B 32K context length 3.1 |
| Metric | Theoretical Compute (TFLOPs) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 5 of 5 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Theoretical Compute (TFLOPs)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/inference-efficiency-on-llama-8b-32k-context-length-3-1.md?metric=Theoretical%20Compute%20(TFLOPs)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Theoretical Memory Traffic (GB)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/inference-efficiency-on-llama-8b-32k-context-length-3-1.md?metric=Theoretical%20Memory%20Traffic%20(GB)>): Lower is better; unit: SIZE.

- [Theoretical TTFT (ms)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/inference-efficiency-on-llama-8b-32k-context-length-3-1.md?metric=Theoretical%20TTFT%20(ms)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.

- [Theoretical TTFT Overhead (ms)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/inference-efficiency-on-llama-8b-32k-context-length-3-1.md?metric=Theoretical%20TTFT%20Overhead%20(ms)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.

- [Empirical TTFT (ms)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/inference-efficiency-on-llama-8b-32k-context-length-3-1.md?metric=Empirical%20TTFT%20(ms)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.
