> RunLocalAI Score

Every catalog hardware unit ranked by composite score (0–1000): measured tok/s, VRAM fit, ecosystem support, perf-per-watt. 2 of 154 ranks anchored to a measured benchmark — the rest are honestly flagged as extrapolated or estimated.

HOW THE SCORE IS DERIVED
Throughput · 0–500

Steady-state tok/s on a representative 7B/8B Q4 model. Measured from real benchmark rows, or extrapolated from VRAM bandwidth × runtime-stack efficiency.

VRAM-fit · 0–200

How comfortably the rig holds 7B / 32B / 70B class models. Apple unified memory counts; NPU/SoC system RAM counts.

Ecosystem · 0–200

CUDA / MLX / ROCm / Vulkan reach. Real-world friction the operator hits when installing tools.

Efficiency · 0–100

Tok/s per watt. Mobile / NPU class scores well; dense desktop GPUs trade efficiency for absolute throughput.

A confidence multiplier (1.0 measured · 0.85 extrapolated · 0.7 estimated) discounts the headline so we don't pretend to know more than we do. Score is recomputed on every page load against the latest catalog + benchmark data — submit your own run with runlocalai-bench --submit --hardware your-rig to firm up the numbers.
