Model analysis summary
A deep dive into the different parts of the model ids - parameters, quantization, but also architectural stems like MXFP8, NVFP4, MLX, etc. - what they mean and how they interact with each other. Semi-raw analysis from claude code.

Model-ID stem analysis - quality / speed / size rankings and combinability
Analysis of the architectural and quantization stems in model identifiers, ranking them on quality, speed (TTFT and TPS), and size across Mac, Linux, and WSL2 - plus a combination matrix of what stacks and what is mutually exclusive.
