Edit: guys don't take it too seriously ok?

Or something that goes against the general opinions of the community? Vibes are the only benchmark that counts after all.

I tend to agree with the flow on most things but my thoughts that I'd consider going against the grain:

• QwQ was think-slop and was never that good
• Qwen3-32B is still SOTA for 32GB and under. I cannot get anything to reliably beat it despite shiny benchmarks
• Deepseek is still open-weight SotA. I've really tried Kimi, GLM, and Qwen3's larger variants but asking Deepseek still feels like asking the adult in the room. Caveat is GLM codes better
• (proprietary bonus): Grok 4 handles news data better than GPT-5 or Gemini 2.5 and will always win if you ask it about something that happened that day.

The Apple M5 Pro chip is rumored to be announced later this week with improved GPU cores and faster inference. With consumer hardware getting better and better and AI labs squishing down models to fit in tiny amounts of vRAM, it's becoming increasingly more feasible to have an assistant which has absorbed the entirety of the internet's knowledge built right into your PC or laptop, all running privately and securely offline. The future is exciting everyone, we are closing the gap
