Selection guide
Start with the constraint,
not the leaderboard.
Model choice is usually a systems decision. Hardware, latency, context length, licensing, and the surrounding toolchain matter as much as benchmark scores.
- 01
Define the task
Separate generation, retrieval, classification, transcription, and image work before comparing checkpoints.
- 02
Check the license
Read the original model card and license terms, especially for commercial services and redistributed weights.
- 03
Budget the runtime
Estimate memory, quantization, throughput, context length, and deployment cost with your actual workload.
- 04
Evaluate locally
Build a small representative test set. Public benchmarks rarely capture your data quality and failure modes.
