Model Benchmarks
By the numbers.
How GRU 1, GRU 2, GPT 3.1, GPT 3.2 compare across size, speed, William resemblance, and usability — plus GPT 3.3, currently training.
Scale
Parameters are the weights a model learned in training. Context window is how much of the conversation it can read at once, counted in tokens.Parameters

Reading these numbers
Italic marks a figure that is approximate rather than counted: GRU 2 and GPT 3.2 have no exact parameter count on record.
GPT 3.2 launched Wednesday, 2026-08-12. GPT 3.3 is in training. Its architecture is fixed, but it has no measured speed or rating results yet.
Speed
Tokens per second is steady-state generation once the model is warm. Load is the cold start before it can answer anything.How this was measured
Cold model loading time and steady-state response generation on our serving hardware. Response results are the mean of three 50-token runs after one warm-up.
Measured August 24, 2026 using the prompt “Tell me about yourself in a few sentences.” Cold load excludes Python module import. TPS counts decoder steps for GRU models and tokenizer output tokens for GPT models. Raw measurements are stored in benchmarks/results/speed/.
Ratings
Scores from people who used the models, averaged over every counted ballot and read live from the vote record.William Resemblance
Rated 0–100, higher is better. Open “what this measures” for the question people were asked.What this measures
Does it actually sound like William? Rated 0–100 by everyone who took part.
General Usability
Rated 0–10, higher is better. Open “what this measures” for the question people were asked.What this measures
Is it actually good to talk to? Rated 0–10 across every counted ballot.
Fun
Rated 0–10, higher is better. Open “what this measures” for the question people were asked.What this measures
Is it enjoyable to interact with? Rated 0–10. Fun tends to track novelty and unpredictability — smaller models score higher here.
Overview
Each metric is averaged over every counted ballot, then scaled to 0–100 so the three axes can share one shape. Further from the centre is better.GRU 1
Resemblance 46.0 · Usability 21.3 · Fun 28.9
GRU 2
Resemblance 52.9 · Usability 34.5 · Fun 31.5

GPT 3.3 · Training
Not plotted — no ratings collected yet
GPT 3.2 leads on resemblance and fun; GRU 2 leads on usability.
Coming next
GPT 3.3 In training. Its scale is listed under Scale above; there are no speed or rating results yet, so it is left out of those sections rather than shown as an empty column.About these figures
Resemblance, usability, and fun scores are real ratings collected from people involved with the project. Speed results were measured on August 24, 2026 on the serving machine and will vary by hardware and runtime configuration. GPT 3.2 launched Wednesday, 2026-08-12. GPT 3.3 is in training, so only its scale is listed — it has no measured results yet.
