Local LLM benchmarks are mostly noise: c=1 tokens/s hides real concurrency performance
TheZachMueller · x · 2026-10-04
TheZachMueller argues local AI lacks meaningful benchmarks: configs vary wildly (x4/x8/x16, PCIe generations), and tokens/s at concurrency 1 says little about real serving — his rig does 300 tok/s at c=1 but only 60 tok/s/user at c=8, the regime subagents actually hit. He proposes standardized reporting recipes matching industry norms.
