A frozen synthetic held-out set compared deterministic rules, Ollama, and Jev 1.13. See the metrics, latency, cost, and limits of the experiment.

Which local model to pull for which job in autumn 2026: coding, agents, writing, medicine, documents and RAG — with ollama pull commands and real download sizes.

llama.cpp vs Ollama: Ollama wraps llama.cpp for convenience, raw llama.cpp wins on speed and control. Benchmarks, GPU offload flags, and when each wins.

The best local LLM for coding by VRAM bracket: Qwen3 Coder vs DeepSeek at 8, 12, 16 and 24 GB, the right quant per card, plus a runnable Ollama setup.
