Best Decision models for retrieval & classification to run locally on a 16GB graphics card

A leaderboard of the best Decision models for retrieval & classification you can run locally on a 16GB graphics card (with 32GB of system RAM). Bespoke Nimble 9B v3 is #1 right now, followed by Perplexity Decider Flash v1.2 (4B) and Clef-flash. Published typed-decision evaluations, with evaluator-specific protocols and tested settings retained. Each task score uses only its reviewed benchmarks. Each model shows the download that fits and the command to run it.
