Döner Bench benchmark compares quantized AI models on Reddit

A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA forum conducted a second round of comparisons for the Döner Bench benchmark, focusing on different quantization levels of the same models. The user tested models like Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4, evaluating their ability to generate a specific HTML file depicting a rotating döner kebab. While higher quantizations generally performed better, even lower quantizations were assessed by selecting the best subjective result from multiple runs, with the user noting a loss of "finesse" and "yumminess" in lower-quality versions.
