I run dgx spark, and the results here are soooo incomplete for my platform that I can’t trust this site (for my usecase).

#33What’s new regarding llmfit? https://github.com/AlexsJones/llmfit
Fair question. llmfit answers "will this model fit in my memory?" — it's a fit/size calculator, and a good one. whichllm answers a different question: "of the models that fit, which is actually best?" It pulls candidates, then ranks them by merged real benchmarks (LiveBench / Artificial Analysis / Aider / Arena ELO / Open LLM Leaderboard) with a recency penalty, so a newer 27B beats an older 32B even though both fit…

#34Is there any free hosting for Python scripts? That would be much more convenient for casual use.

#35What’s new regarding llmfit? https://github.com/AlexsJones/llmfit
This has a web version[0] which I wish they'd host on a free site.

Edit: I tried to deploy a snapshot of the llmfit-web files on Netlify but it seems to need/want to talk to a backend[1]

#36Good job.

#37OP is a newish user, all of their responses here are copied straight from Claude, and this project has an LLM slop readme (count them: 48 em-dashes on the page!) and LLM code. Just not very interesting.

Seriously going to use AI to write a reply that would take you 30 seconds?

Your LLM should have bothered to notice that llmfit also has quality scores (and defaults to sorting by them). One might quibble about weighting of factors -- llmfit favors Qwen3.6-35B-A3B over Qwen3.6-27B, whereas I found the quality of the latter to be worth waiting for -- but it absolutely ranks models by quality.
