Four signals, never blended
Each signal answers a different question. Community votes, editorial ratings, machine fit and external benchmarks stay separate.
Community ★ /5
Raw signed-in member average plus vote count. The confidence sort uses a transparent 3.5/5 prior over five votes; fewer than five votes is marked EARLY.
Live public aggregates →LocalClaw /10
Editorial catalogue rubric: 38% quality, 24% coding, 24% reasoning and 14% speed, using only maintained repository fields. It is not a standardized third-party benchmark.
Hardware fit
Compares installed RAM with the catalogue minimum. Context, runtime overhead, GPU offload and other applications can require more headroom.
Independent benchmarks
Artificial Analysis adds third-party performance context for covered models. It never replaces LocalClaw's local-runtime, licence, RAM or VRAM checks.
Choose the right benchmark ↓Independent benchmark reality check
Use the external signal that matches the output, then come back to LocalClaw for local compatibility. Coverage is not universal, so absence is never scored as failure.

Local model index FAQ
Short, source-aligned answers for people and answer engines.
What is the Local AI Compatibility Guide?
It is LocalClaw's hardware-aware guide combining 467 local AI records with computer, RAM/GPU and software guidance. The catalogue includes 241 indexable LLM pages, 97 speech records and 129 image, video, 3D, music and vision models.
How is the LocalClaw score calculated?
The homepage LocalClaw catalogue score is a separate 0-10 method calculated from repository fields: 38% quality, 24% coding, 24% reasoning and 14% speed. It is not a community rating or an external benchmark leaderboard.
Are community stars mixed into the LocalClaw score?
No. Community stars are the independent 1-5 average from signed-in LocalClaw members, always shown with the number of votes. Community confidence uses only stars and vote count for ordering; EARLY means fewer than five votes. It never changes the LocalClaw score.
Does an Artificial Analysis result prove that a model runs locally?
No. Artificial Analysis provides independent performance context for covered models. LocalClaw separately verifies the downloadable model, local runtime path, RAM or VRAM floor and licence. A model missing from an external leaderboard is treated as not covered, not as a poor performer.
How should I choose a local model for 8, 16, 32 or 64 GB RAM?
Use the machine RAM selector or a RAM guide. A model is considered compatible when its catalogue minimum-RAM value is at or below the selected memory; context length, runtime overhead and other applications can require additional headroom.
Does the homepage include cloud-only or API-only models?
No hosted-only or API-only records appear in the ranked homepage lists. The LLM list contains 200 records with a public GGUF repository, plus 42 public and 4 gated model-card records without a verified GGUF file; those pages do not claim a one-click desktop install. The 6 exact-repository-unavailable LLM routes, online Edge TTS, API-only OCTAVE 2 and unverified XTTS v3 route are excluded.
What speech models are covered?
The local speech index contains 97 records: 73 TTS models, 23 ASR models and 1 local speech application. Each entry keeps its Audio score separate from community stars.
How fresh is the LocalClaw catalogue?
This homepage snapshot was generated from the repository catalogue updated September 27, 2026. Release dates, RAM requirements, licences and links come from the maintained LocalClaw records and linked model pages.
