What you can do
- Local model access
- Model management
- Application integration
A useful starting workflow
Start with a model that fits your hardware and a short evaluation set. Measure response quality and resource use on the tasks your application actually needs.
What to compare
Try a repeatable set of prompts on the actual computer you plan to use. Compare response quality, speed and how easily the tool connects to your application or files.
Pricing and access
