Local LLM benchmarks reveal speed vs. intelligence trade-offs

A Microsoft MVP in Japan conducted benchmarks comparing seven local Large Language Models (LLMs) on an NVIDIA DGX Spark, focusing on both speed and the quality of responses. The tests revealed that a higher parameter count did not consistently correlate with better intelligence, and some models struggled with specific instructions or produced unusable answers despite their speed. The author used custom tools, Ebi Workspace and Ebi Agent Chat Relay, to manage the experimental conditions and data collection, aiming to provide practical insights for businesses considering local AI adoption.
