Users seek best local LLMs for structured text-to-JSON conversion

They have found that while larger models like GPT-OSS 120B perform well, they are too resource-intensive for their local machine. Smaller models such as GPT-OSS 20B and Qwen 3.6 35b a3b show inconsistent performance, sometimes breaking down or failing to produce the desired JSON output despite using a specific prompt format.
