DDR3 workstation here - R1 generates at 1 token per second. In practice, this means that for complex queries, the speed of replying is closer to an email response than a chat message, but this is acceptable to me for confidential queries or queries where I need the model to be steerable. I can always hit the R1 API from a provider instead, if I want to.

Given that R1 uses 37B active parameters (compared to 32B for K2), K2 should be slightly faster than that - around 1.15 tokens/second.
