I benchmarked open-weight LLMs on a Windows PC and a Raspberry Pi 5, and nearly every obvious answer turned out wrong: a GPU silently running on CPU, a ‘bigger’ model slower than no GPU at all, a judge model that graded a correct answer wrong. Local earned its place for narrow, lightweight work. It isn’t yet a replacement for the closed models I use every day, and I didn’t put them through the same tests.]]>
