A new paper benchmarks cloud-based and local large language models (LLMs) on tasks related to System Dynamics AI assistance. The evaluation focused on causal loop diagram (CLD) extraction and interactive model discussion. While cloud models generally outperformed local ones in CLD extraction, the best local models achieved comparable results to mid-tier cloud offerings. For discussion tasks, local models showed promise in model building and feedback explanation but struggled with error fixing, highlighting memory limitations in long-context scenarios. AI
