2. What LLMCheck is
LLMCheck is a free, independent resource that helps Mac users choose local AI models for their hardware. It is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional, purchasing, or technical advice.
3. Benchmark data & estimates
Performance figures (tokens per second, RAM requirements, capability scores, and rankings) are estimates. They are derived from a combination of published benchmarks, community reports, and modeling, and can vary substantially with your specific model build, quantization, context length, software version, thermal conditions, and background load. They may be projected or interpolated rather than individually measured on every configuration. Verify current specifications and pricing with the model publisher and retailer before making a purchase decision. See our methodology.
