## How these speeds are measured

- Every number comes from real chats in Loci, timed on the device that wrote the answer, with Loci's default settings.
- **Tokens per second** is how fast an answer is written once it starts. On phones, four characters of text count as one token for every model; on a Mac, Loci counts the model's own tokens. Reading pace is about 5.
- **First word** is how long an answer takes to start after you send a message. Longer conversations take longer.
- Each device counts once. The large number is the median; the typical range covers the middle half of devices.
- Results use the last 30 days when enough devices have been measured. Otherwise, labeled 90-day samples include older measurements under the same sample and app-version requirements.
- Each phone speed comes from at least 10 phones of that model. Different phone models and Android chip variants are measured separately. Open a result to see its sample size.
- On phones, answers written in Low Power Mode or Battery Saver, in the background, or with web search or other tools are left out.
