New site estimates local LLM performance before GPU purchase

A developer has created a small website designed to help users estimate the performance of local large language models (LLMs) before purchasing hardware. The tool, available at llmspeed.dev, provides an approximation of tokens per second, acknowledging that actual performance may vary based on individual user setups. The project's code is also available on GitHub for those interested in the underlying mechanics. AI

IMPACT Helps users gauge hardware requirements for running local LLMs, potentially influencing purchasing decisions.
