Evaluating capabilities, performance, and resource requirements of freely available AI models

Core Idea: Open source AI models provide alternatives to proprietary systems with varying strengths, limitations, and resource requirements that must be evaluated across multiple dimensions for appropriate selection.

Key Elements

Comparison Framework

• Performance benchmarks (MMLU, GPQA, HumanEval, etc.)
• Resource requirements (parameters, memory, compute)
• License restrictions and permitted use cases
• Multimodal capabilities
• Multilingual support
• Context window size
• Inference speed (tokens per second)
• Community support and development activity

Leading Models (2024-2025)

Mistral Models

• Mistral Small 3.1:

  • 24B parameters
  • Multimodal capabilities
  • 128K context window
  • ~150 tokens per second
  • Runs on single RTX 4090 or 32GB RAM systems
  • Outperforms Gemma 3 and some proprietary models
  • Pachi 2.0 license

• Mixtral 8x7B:

  • Mixture-of-experts architecture
  • Strong performance-to-parameter ratio
  • Efficient sparse activation

Google Models

• Gemma 3 27B:

  • 27B parameters
  • Multimodal capabilities
  • Competitive with GPT-4 Omni Mini
  • Open weights with permissive license
  • Strong performance on programming tasks

• Gemma 2 (Smaller Variants):

  • 2B and 7B parameter versions
  • Optimized for edge devices
  • Limited capabilities but efficient

Meta Models

• Llama 3:
  • Family of models (8B to 70B)
  • Strong reasoning capabilities
  • More restrictive license terms
  • Extensive fine-tuned variants

Specialized Models

• Code-focused Models:

  • DeepSeek Coder
  • CodeLlama
  • Optimized for programming tasks

• Multilingual Models:

  • BLOOM
  • mT0
  • Focus on non-English language support

Selection Criteria

• Use Case Alignment:

  • Task-specific requirements (coding, reasoning, chat)
  • Industry-specific knowledge needs

• Hardware Constraints:

  • Available GPU memory
  • CPU-only deployment considerations
  • Edge vs. cloud deployment

• Fine-tuning Potential:

  • Adaptability to custom datasets
  • Training efficiency for domain adaptation

• Community & Ecosystem:

  • Available tools and frameworks
  • Documentation quality
  • Active development community
