Selene 1 Mini 8B on Intel Xeon D-2700 series NAS (16 GB)

Can the Intel Xeon D-2700 series NAS (16 GB) run Selene 1 Mini 8B?

Barely: it runs very slowly

Very slow. At Q6_K it needs about 8.4 GB of 12.0 GB usable and makes one decision in about 57.9 s.

Best quant: Q6_K
Time per decision: 57.9 s
Decisions per second: 0.0/s
Input assumed: 1,024 tokens
Returns: Written feedback, then a score

Ollama Runs the Hugging Face GGUF with ollama run hf.co/…
LocalAI One OpenAI-compatible server for GGUF guard models and rerankers together.

How we choose: the files published for this model, which apps run in a container on a NAS without a graphics card (models run on its processor), and whether the model fits fully in the memory models can use. Details.

How it’s rated

Quality 79Great quality (A) · 79 of 100: how capable the model is at Q6_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 70/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at Q6_K, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Very slow: How well it runs on the Intel Xeon D-2700 series NAS (16 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

PrecisionEditorial precision tier from the model’s published benchmarks, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	35.6 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of the NAS’s memory that models can use (the rest stays with the NAS system and its storage services); fewer when it goes past that limit.	25.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.	0.6 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.	9.0 / 15
Match score	70.3 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
