Prompt eval time varies a lot with context but it feels real-time for short prompts - approx 20 tokens per second but I haven't done much benchmarking of this. When there is a lot of re-prompting in a long back and forth it is still quite fast - I do use KV cache which I assume helps and also quantize the KV cache to Q8 if I am running contexts above 16k. However, if I want it to summarize a document of say 15,000 words it does take a long time - here I walk away and come back in about 20 minutes and it will be complete.
