Evaluation of the latency performance for the Llama 3.1 8B model quantized to Q4 weights, specifically measuring the Time to First Token (TTFT).

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 | Time to First Token |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Llama 3.1 8B Q4 weights |
| Metric | TTFT (ms) |
| Unit | TIME |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 28 of 28 |
| 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

- [TTFT (ms)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/time-to-first-token-on-llama-3-1-8b-q4-weights.md?metric=TTFT%20(ms)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.
