best local open-weight model this week - quiethouse - 10-09-2026
Spent some time on this today and wanted to compare notes.
I'm comparing two approaches here: keep it simple on GB200, or squeeze more out of the stack and deal with the complexity.
Interested in tradeoffs more than fan loyalty.
My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs.

My first guess would be this: On 7900 XTX, the easiest win is often to back off the aggressive settings and see whether the problem survives. A lot of these threads end up being one bad config plus a pile of conclusions drawn from it.
