Mohamed Meguedmi

Independent engineer & LLM researcher. Every guide, ranking and comparison on BestLLMfor is researched, benchmarked and written by him.

Who writes BestLLMfor

Mohamed Meguedmi is a France-based independent engineer who runs LLMs on his own hardware. BestLLMfor is his English-language project: an independent comparator of locally-runnable large language models, built on a benchmark pipeline he operates himself and on structured data published as an open data API (CC BY 4.0).

He focuses on what actually matters when you self-host a model: VRAM budgets, quantization trade-offs, real tokens-per-second on consumer GPUs and Apple Silicon, licensing, and total cost versus cloud APIs.
