whichllm (Andyyyy64/whichllm) launched on Show HN as a CLI tool that auto-detects your GPU/CPU/RAM and returns ranked local LLM recommendations from HuggingFace based on real performance data, not just parameter count. It merges live benchmark sources including LiveBench, Artificial Analysis, Aider, Chatbot Arena ELO, and Open LLM Leaderboard, with scores tagged and discounted by confidence. One command gives hardware-specific recommendations factoring inference time and memory usage.
