Best Decision models for language understanding for a 16GB Mac

A leaderboard of the best Decision models for language understanding for a Mac with 16GB of memory. Published typed-decision evaluations, with evaluator-specific protocols and tested settings retained. Each task score uses only its reviewed benchmarks. 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.
