Local LLM Real-World Tests
Local LLM Real-World Tests: real hardware tests, screenshots, and tokens per second
This series keeps hands-on local model tests separate from the model finder. Each article uses a fixed hardware setup, captures the important steps, and reports measured speed instead of vague hardware advice.
Series rule
Every benchmark page must show the setup, model list, speed, and slow boundary
Future articles can cover 16GB RAM, 8GB VRAM, 16GB VRAM, MacBook unified memory, and multi-GPU workstations without crowding the model finder page. This gives search users a clearer path: use the finder to shortlist models, then read benchmark pages when they want real machine results.
