If you want to run LLMs locally then the localllama community is your friend: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/

In general there's no "best" LLM model, all of them will have some strengths and weaknesses. There are a bunch of good picks; for example:

> DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B - https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B

Released today; probably the best reasoning model in 8B size.

> Qwen3 - https://huggingface.co/collections/Qwen/qwen3-67dd247413f0e2...

Recently released. Hybrid thinking/non-thinking models with really great performance and plethora of sizes for every hardware. The Qwen3-30B-A3B can even run on CPU with acceptable speeds. Even the tiny 0.6B one is somewhat coherent, which is crazy.
