Best Decision models for knowledge & reasoning to run locally on a 16GB Mac

A leaderboard of the best Decision models for knowledge & reasoning you can run locally on a Mac with 16GB of memory. Published typed-choice knowledge and reasoning evaluations. Each task score uses only the reviewed benchmarks and their original evaluator protocols. 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.
