Best Decision models for arts & human taste for a 16GB Mac

A leaderboard of the best Decision models for arts & human taste for a Mac with 16GB of memory. Typed-choice results from the Decision Index 0.4.1 public suite. These are decisions over supplied options, not generated answers. Models that run on it show 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.
