Prompt processing = prefill speed (how fast the prompt is read) as reported by the source, with the prompt length it was measured at; blank = the source does not report it. est. TTFT @8k is calculated from the measured prefill speed (8,192 ÷ prefill tok/s), shown only when prefill was measured on a prompt of 512+ tokens. It is not a measurement and ignores load time and caching. measured TTFT is the source's own time-to-first-token. Why prefill matters for coding assistants.

README of the llama.cpp-multigpu fork (multigpu branch), measured by the author on 5 Oct 2026, comparing the patched fork with upstream llama.cpp on the same machine. The README also has a rented 6x RTX 4090 run (not listed here because it is a cloud machine).
