A follow-up comparison of large language models for local inference has been conducted, re-evaluating previous models and introducing Gemma 4 and Kimi K2. The study aimed to address configuration issues from the initial round and test the limits of consumer hardware. Gemma 4, a 27B parameter model from Google, was easily integrated, while Kimi K2, a 1 trillion parameter model from Moonshot AI, presented significant challenges due to its massive size, requiring advanced techniques for local deployment.

IMPACT Highlights the growing challenges and techniques required for running increasingly large LLMs locally on consumer hardware.
RANK_REASON This is a research-oriented comparison of multiple LLMs, focusing on their performance and deployment challenges on consumer hardware, rather than a release from a frontier lab.
