Current Champions of the Local Edge
The Open Weights ecosystem moves at blistering speed. What was state of the art three months ago is now hopelessly obsolete.
- Meta Llama-3.3 (8B / 70B): The absolute reigning champions of reasoning logic. The 8B runs identically on consumer hardware while matching legacy GPT-4 capability scopes.
- Mistral Nemo (12B): Joint collaboration with NVIDIA, providing massively expanded context windows and multi-lingual mastery perfect for edge desktops.
- DeepSeek-R1 (1.5B - 671B): Delivering state-of-the-art reasoning capabilities, matching GPT-4o and o1 benchmarks across coding, mathematics, and science domains, run locally or on open routers.
