Best decision models to run locally on a 32GB PC without a graphics card

A leaderboard of the best decision models you can run locally on a computer with 32GB of RAM and no graphics card. Models are ranked by one score that combines 238 published benchmarks. Each model shows the download that fits and the command to run it.

Compare tested decision models and inference recipes across text, vision and workflow tasks. Use task filters and raw results: probability consistency measures coherence, not correctness.
