Show HN: Llmspeed – feel how fast a local LLM runs before you buy the hardware
Developers on Hacker News introduced Llmspeed, a benchmarking utility that simulates the performance of locally hosted large language models on prospective hardware. The tool estimates inference speed and resource usage, allowing users to gauge how a model would run before purchasing expensive GPUs or servers. Llmspeed aims to streamline hardware selection for AI workloads by providing quick, cost‑free performance previews.
