best local open-weight model this week: setup advice

[batchsize]

Did a bit of testing and thought I'd post the result here.

I tried this with Gemma using MLX on Threadripper box. The headline result was better than I expected, but structured output still ended up being the limiting factor.

Curious if anyone else landed in the same place.

I care more about stability than squeezing the last possible tokens/sec out of it.
