As you know we read through /r/localLlama, /r/localLLM, and other local model subreddits on an almost daily basis, and every now and then it is good to step back and survey what the community consensus is landing on, with a sampling of models across different sizes. We started this work to power our local Claw.
The top names you should know as a baseline, adjusted for “what people are actually recommending” rather than just benchmark supremacy:
Qwen 3.5 — most broadly recommended family right now across usecases.
Gemma 4 — strong recent buzz for local usability, especially smaller and mid-sized deployments.
GLM-5 / GLM-4.7— near the top of broad open-model rankings, increasingly part of the “best overall” conversation.
