Test: Local Quants vs Claude on 9 Real Bug Fixes
A developer on r/LocalLLaMA benchmarked local quantized models against Claude on nine real C++/CUDA regression bugs from a private engine, scoring patches automatically and via blind Claude Opus 5 judging; the two scores correlated at r=0.79. Runs were sandboxed without network or CUDA, capped at 80 steps and 3 runs per task.
