SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires ollama, lm-studio, node, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables users to evaluate the speed, quality, and RAM compatibility of local large language models (LLMs) on their hardware.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Performance Testing: Measure tokens per second, time to first token, and memory usage of specified local models.
  • Quality Evaluation: Assess reasoning, math, coding, instruction following, and multilingual capabilities through benchmark prompts.
  • Use Case: A developer wants to determine if a 6B model runs efficiently on their MacBook Air, then compare its performance and accuracy before deployment.

Quick Start

Run the metrillm bench --model your-model command to test your local LLM for speed and quality, then review the benchmarks directly.

FAQPage Schema
How do I benchmark local LLM performance on my hardware?

Evaluate local LLM quality by testing reasoning, math, coding, instruction following, and multilingual capabilities using built-in benchmark prompts to assess deployment readiness and model accuracy.

Can I test if a specific local model fits my hardware before deployment?

Yes, you can test hardware compatibility by measuring RAM compatibility and speed metrics of specific local models to ensure they run efficiently on your machine before deployment.

Do I need ollama or lm-studio installed to run local model benchmarks?

Yes, you need ollama or lm-studio installed along with node to provide the local model environment required to execute performance and quality tests effectively.

What is the best way to compare local LLM speed and quality?

The best way to compare local LLM speed and quality is to run comprehensive benchmark tests measuring both performance metrics like tokens per second and quality assessments like reasoning and coding accuracy.
