What Changed
-
Did a 30 runs of llama-bench to find optimal settings for my use case (Frigate and HomeAssistant) on my MI60 32gb VRAM GPU - two models tested Gemma4 and Qwen3.6 - Figured I'd share in case it helps anyone else
r/LocalLLaMA
-
Benchmarked Needle 26M vs Qwen3-0.6B on CPU function calling, 50 queries across 5 difficulty tiers. The 23x smaller model wins on accuracy and is 4.4x faster.
