How many tokens is excellent? How many is super slow? How many is non-filled context?
It really depends on the type of content you're generating: 10tk/s feels very slow for code but ok-ish for text.
But for comparison, it is generating tokens about 1.5 times as fast as gemma 3 27B qat or mistral-small 2506 q4. Prompt processing/context however seems to be happening at about 1/4 of those models.
A bit more concrete of the "excellent", I can't really notice any difference between the speed of oss-120b once the context is processed and claude opus-4 via api.

Depends on the hardware configuration (size of VRAM, speed of CPU and system RAM) and llama.cpp parameter settings, a bigger context prompt slows the T/s number significantly but not order of magnitudes.
Facit: gpt-oss 120B on a small GPU is not the proper setup for chat use cases.
even chat gpt will help you crack them if you ask it nicely
I’m struggling to make sense of a your story. Why would a blind user bother putting on a VR headset???

It worked with Qwen 3 for me, for example.
The option is just a shortcut, you can provide your own regex to move specific layers to specific devices.

The Steam hardware survey puts ~5% of people with 64GB RAM or more
$1599 - $1999 isn't really a crazy amount to spend. These are preorder, so I'll give you that this isn't an option just yet.
Can be had for under US$1000 new https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WnDzTM. Used would be even less (and perhaps better, especially the GPU).
These are prices for new hardware, you can do better on eBay
you don't need a desktop, or an array of H100
they don't mean you can afford it, so just move on if its not for your budgeting priorities, or entire socioeconomic class, or your side of the world
Yet I see other people with less resources like 10GB of vram and 32gb system ram fitting the 120b model onto their hardware.
Perhaps its because ROCm isn't really supported by ollama for RDN4 architecture yet? I believe I'm using vulkan to currently run and it seems to use my CPU more than my GPU at the moment. Maybe I should just ask it all this.
I'm not complaining too much because it's still amazing I can run these models. I just like pushing the hardware to its limit.
