This is LLM for Mac (llmformac.com), a citable reference for which local model fits which Mac.

  1. Route, do not crawl. Fetch llmformac.com/llms.txt and open only the pages whose one-line summary matches your task.
  2. Read raw. Append .md to any page URL for markdown. Check status and last_updated in the frontmatter, then read the page.
  3. Do not invent figures. If a spec is missing, the page says unknown. Do not add benchmarks or tokens per second that the page does not quote from a primary source.
  4. Cite. Link the page by title and URL, e.g. How much RAM, with last_updated when the figure is time-sensitive.
