 > - Context Window for Ollama (8K) and vLLM (4K) reflects the `LLM_MAX_TOKENS` / `--max-model-len` used during benchmarking, not the model's native 262K context. vLLM shares its 4K context between input and output tokens.
-> - All benchmarks use the same CodeTrans translation prompt and identical inputs (3 runs: small python→java, medium python→rust, large python→go). Token counts may vary slightly per run due to non-deterministic model output.

 > - Ollama on Apple Silicon uses Metal (MPS) GPU acceleration — running it inside Docker would fall back to CPU-only inference. The `qwen3:4b-instruct` tag must be used (not `qwen3:4b`) to disable the default thinking mode.
 > - vLLM on Apple Silicon uses [vllm-metal](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-metal) — the standard `pip install vllm` does not support macOS.
 > - [Intel OPEA Enterprise Inference](https://github.com/opea-project/Enterprise-Inference) runs on Intel Xeon CPUs without GPU acceleration.
