Local LLM comparison focuses on models runnable on consumer GPUs

A Reddit user on r/LocalLLaMA has compiled a comparison of recently released local language models, focusing on those that can run on consumer-grade hardware like three NVIDIA 3090 GPUs. The comparison excludes extremely large models (300B parameters) and suggests skipping 200B models, though notes that MiniMax and Step are notably fast even at that scale. The Gemma-4 12B model was not included in this particular analysis. AI
