OpenGauntlet
Find the local AI model you would actually want to talk to
OpenGauntlet makes roughly a year of research from building Imprynt publicly useful. It compares 32 locally hosted open-weight model configurations on conversational realism, emotional intelligence, memory, voice suitability, and on-device speed. You can inspect actual replies and methodology, then explore clearly labeled sourced surveys covering 106 speech-to-text and 168 text-to-speech systems.
OpenGauntlet grew out of roughly a year of research while I was building Imprynt, a voice-first companion. General benchmarks helped me understand what models could solve, but not which local model I would actually want to spend time talking to. I began giving each model the same multi-turn conversations, scoring both rubric dimensions and pairwise preferences, and publishing the replies so the results could be inspected rather than taken on faith. I am sharing the research publicly through D3velop because it seemed more useful in the open than scattered across project files. The Listening and Voices sections are sourced surveys rather than in-house benchmarks and are labeled separately. I would especially value feedback on the evaluation design and suggestions for the next model to put through the gauntlet.
