Evaluate it for your workflow.
Pin the artifact and inference configuration. Use representative inputs with a written answer rubric, then record accepted results, errors, complete request time and token usage. Keep output budgets and concurrency explicit.
Benchmark results apply to their recorded version and method. They do not transfer automatically to a different runtime or a quantized derivative.
