+### Perplexity (measuring model quality)
+
+You can use the `perplexity` example to measure perplexity over a given prompt (lower perplexity is better).
+For more information, see [https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/perplexity](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/perplexity).
+
+The perplexity measurements in table above are done against the `wikitext2` test dataset (https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/wikitext-2), with context length of 512.
+The time per token is measured on a MacBook M1 Pro 32GB RAM using 4 and 8 threads.

-You can use the `perplexity` example to measure perplexity over the given prompt. For more background, see [https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/perplexity](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/perplexity). However, in general, lower perplexity is better for LLMs.

-#### Latest measurements
-
-The latest perplexity scores for the various model sizes and quantizations are being tracked in [discussion #406](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/406). `llama.cpp` is measuring very well compared to the baseline implementations. Quantization has a small negative impact on quality, but, as you can see, running

-All measurements are done against the wikitext2 test dataset (https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/wikitext-2), with default options (512 length context).
-Note that changing the context length will have a significant impact on perplexity (longer context = better perplexity).
