01 · THE MODEL BENCH

The Model Bench

Eleven open models, every one loaded and ready on local hardware. Zero cloud API calls, zero waitlists.

DEFAULT TRIALONE SESSION · TWO ACCESS PATHS

Qwen3.8-27B BF16 / FP8 / NVFP4 W4A4

Every trial session connects to a live local machine running Qwen3.8-27B, accessible through two distinct paths:

Access Path One · Browser
Open WebUI

Open WebUI in the browser. No setup. Good for judging output quality, prompt behavior, and document retrieval (RAG) on your own files.

Access Path Two · API
OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint

An OpenAI-compatible endpoint on the same machine. A base URL, a scoped key, and the served model name. Point your existing tooling at it and change nothing else.

What the endpoint is for

A chat window tells you whether you like the output. It cannot tell you whether the model holds up inside your systems. The endpoint can.

Point your evaluation harness at it and run your own test set. Wire it into a coding tool by changing one base URL. Exercise tool calling and structured output the way your agents actually use them. Generate concurrent load and watch what happens. Run the same prompts you already run against a hosted API and compare directly.

It is OpenAI-compatible, so most tooling needs one configuration change and no code.

Trial machines may be shared between sessions. The API session is for output quality and integration testing. Representative throughput, latency, and concurrency numbers come from the paid Private AI Assessment on a dedicated machine.

Session Parameters

What You Receive on Session Start

On session start you receive:

  • A base URL
  • A scoped API key, valid for the session window only
  • The served model name string
  • The available endpoints: /v1/chat/completions, /v1/completions, /v1/models
  • The key is revoked when the session ends.

Some frontier open models exceed single-site deployment, for example Kimi K3 at 2.8T total parameters and roughly 1.56TB of weights. We size multi-node builds for these on request.

Test Any Model on Your Prompts

We configure a private session with your preferred model and context length so you can benchmark latency, first-token speed, and output quality.
