local-bench-ai 0.4.2

Benchmark runner for local-bench.ai - the community quality leaderboard for local AI setups.

local-bench-ai

CLI benchmark runner for local-bench.ai — a community quality leaderboard for local AI setups. It benchmarks GGUF models served by llama.cpp (or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), scores them on the six-axis Local Intelligence Index (Agentic, Knowledge, Instruction-Following, Tool calling, execution-verified Coding, Math), and packs signed, reproducible result bundles you can submit for maintainer review.

Quickstart

pip install "local-bench-ai[hf]"   # Python 3.11+

# 1. Fetch the static suite used by the public path below (hash-verified)
localbench fetch-suite --site https://local-bench.ai \
  --suite suite-v1-static-exec-5axis-v1 --accept-suite-terms

# 2. Cache the tokenizer/chat template for offline identity
localbench cache-tokenizer <hf-model-id>

# 3. Public path today: run the five non-agentic axes (measured/static, not full-index eligible)
localbench bench <catalog-model-or-hf-repo> --static-only \
  --llama-server-path <path-to-llama-server>

# 4. Managed-harness path: fetch the full suite, then launch the pinned server
localbench fetch-suite --site https://local-bench.ai \
  --suite suite-v1-full-exec-6axis-v1 --accept-suite-terms

localbench bench \
  --runtime llama.cpp --server-bin <path-to-llama-server> \
  --model-file <model.gguf> --model-id <model-slug> \
  --hf-model-id <hf-model-id> \
  --suite suite-v1-full-exec-6axis-v1 --bench all \
  --wsl-venv-python <managed-wsl-python> \
  --appworld-root <managed-appworld-root> \
  --lane bounded-final-v2 --profile auto --tier standard \
  --ctx 32768 --seed 1234 --out runs/my-bench

# 5. Submit for maintainer review (nothing auto-publishes)
localbench submit run --run runs/my-bench

Full six-axis execution currently requires managed AppWorld configuration. Until the managed runtime is public, use one-shot --static-only to run the other five axes without agentic setup. Safetensors/vLLM execution is a separate maintainer-operated lane documented in docs/benchmark-build/vllm-maintainer-runbook.md; it does not change the public llama.cpp/GGUF path.

The site's submit page generates these commands for your exact model and runtime, including the full identity flag set for bring-your-own-server runs. Publishable bounded-final-v2 runs require a 32k server context.

What makes rows trustworthy

• Suites are hash-pinned releases; sampler settings are pinned (greedy, seeded).
• Coding is BigCodeBench-Hard, re-executed by the maintainer's sandbox verifier before it can rank; community agentic results are labeled self-reported.
• Every number on the board links to a receipt with the full run manifest.
• Nothing ranks without maintainer review.
