A well-received PSA on r/LocalLLaMA argues that convenience layers such as Ollama and LM Studio can change model behavior enough to distort evaluation. The more durable lesson from the thread is reproducibility: hold templates, stop tokens, sampling, runtime versions, and quantization constant before judging a model.
