A new benchmark tool called smolbenchmark has been released to help users select the best-performing large language models for their specific hardware, particularly for devices with limited resources like 8GB of RAM. Unlike traditional benchmarks that assume powerful server-grade GPUs, smolbenchmark focuses on metrics such as decode speed, tokens per joule, and heat generation. The project aims to provide raw data and detailed reports for various devices, including tablets, phones, Macs, and single-board computers, allowing users to make informed decisions about which models best suit their personal hardware.
