Silicon Logic
Benchmarks you can verify, not just believe.
Independent local AI inference testing with signed artifacts, public methodology, and reproducible numbers.
01 What it is
Silicon Logic measures how AI models actually run on local hardware — tokens per second, latency, power — and publishes the results as editorial work a reader can check.
02 Why it exists
Local AI inference is full of numbers and short on defensible ones. Hardware vendors publish competing claims for the same silicon. Community benchmarks are useful but unauditable. Video reviews run impressive tests with methodology no one can re-run. If you’re choosing hardware for local inference, you can find a thousand charts — and almost none you could defend in front of someone who disagrees.
03 How it works
The measurement plan is committed before the runs happen. Every run produces a signed artifact — canonical bytes under an Ed25519 signature — and the raw outputs ship alongside the headline numbers. The methodology is versioned and published as part of the work, not a footnote under it. The statistics are built for noisy machines: repeated trials, with variance reported, not hidden.
04 What it measures
Throughput, time to first token, latency percentiles, memory pressure, and measured power — wall and SoC — with thermals observed across sustained runs. On hardware readers actually own: Apple Silicon (a MacBook Pro M5 Max with 36 GB) and consumer GPUs (RTX 5080), across the runtimes people actually use — llama.cpp, MLX, Ollama.
05 The role
I founded Silicon Logic and build all of it: the measurement pipeline, the schema that keeps the Python, TypeScript, and database layers honest with each other, and the publication site that renders the artifacts.
