Model Tested

Use this whenever the user asks how two or more open-weight models compare, or which of them to pick. Returns our test scores, rank and memory needs for 2 to 6 models side by side.

Use this whenever the user asks about decision models or LLMs for classification, routing, triage or yes/no calls. Accuracy on our decision test (routing tickets, applying rules, spotting phishing, flagging risky code changes), how well each model's confidence matches its accuracy (calibration), and API cost per 1,000 calls. Covers dedicated decision models and regular LLMs given the same tasks.

Use this whenever the user asks which local or open-weight LLM is best, overall or for coding, documents or decisions, or which model they can run on their graphics card (VRAM) or Mac. Returns tested models ranked by our own test scores, best first; with a GPU or Mac memory size it only returns models that fit, plus the quantization to download and the memory it needs. Examples: 'best model for a 16 GB GPU', 'best coding model on a 32 GB Mac', 'best small model under 10B'.

Use this whenever the user asks about a specific open-weight model: how good it is, its benchmark scores, whether it's worth using, how much VRAM or memory it needs, or which quantization to download. Returns our test scores, rank, memory at each quantization, the smallest GPU and Mac it fits, decision accuracy and our Q4 run on a Mac when there is one. Accepts a name or slug, e.g. 'qwen3.5 9b' or 'gpt-oss-20b'.
