## Source excerpt (up to 25 words)

> Large language models are increasingly deployed on local hardware for privacy, cost, and accessibility reasons. Yet many evaluations emphasize accuracy while fewer quantify local runtime

## Review question

Check the benchmark version, sampling budget, data contamination controls, human interventions and proof-review method. A final answer or benchmark score is not evidence that every reasoning step is valid.

No independent proof check or claim of peer review.
