No reproducible way to compare local LLM coding setups
Posted by WantBorn (founder-seeded)
Every discussion of local models for daily coding is a pile of unreproducible anecdotes — quantization, VRAM, context size and agent harness are almost never stated together, so nobody can replicate a reported result.
- Captures quantization, VRAM, context size, and agent harness together per result
- Another person can reproduce a reported result from the captured setup
No bonus criteria.

This moves a quest's status, so it needs a real account behind it. Voting stays open without signing in.
Fit scores are the submitter's own claim against the stated must-haves — disputable, never a WantBorn verdict, and nothing but criteria-fit ever touches this ranking.
No solutions suggested yet — know one that fits?
A gap-flagged quest can be claimed by a builder — the claim promotes it into a brief, and “validated” is only ever computed from independent checks plus real test/pledge commitments, never from votes. We're building the Forum in the open, one honest piece at a time.
