Hi Ollama People!

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask you a question. I’m developing an app, and I’m currently putting together a list of the best AI models, especially, but not necessarily, in GGUF format and using Q4_K_M quantization. My goal is for the list to focus on models that offer the best performance and compatibility with the kind of average home computers people have today. The models I currently have, from newest to oldest, are: Qwen 3.8 27B Qwen 3.5 9B Qwen 3.5 4B gpt-oss 20B Phi-4-mini-instruct The question I wanted to ask, in case you can help me, is: What other models should I consider that are as good as, or better than, the ones mentioned above, while still being capable of running locally on typical home computers? I’ve looked at Ornith 1.5 9B, but it didn’t seem significantly different from Qwen 3.5 9B, and some of the others I’ve tried seemed even worse. Do you know of any better alternatives? On another note, I’m also considering adding features aimed at home users, such as music generation. I’ve seen Music-Max, for example, and it looks very promising, but it seems to require quite a lot of resources at the moment. Do you know of any music-generation models that can run on conventional home computers? And besides music generation, can you think of any other areas where AI models are currently incredibly good and could be useful for a local, consumer-focused app? Any knowledge or suggestions you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance! submitted by /u/Offlined_OS [link] [comments]
