| TL;DR: Sourced internet info into llm model/hardware choise guide. Two directions:
Plus a side-by-side compare mode for rigs and LLMs. Tokens/sec numbers cite a source; every build links the actual reviewer YouTube videos. Why I built it: Needed to pick what I buy, 5090, spark or strix halo. Ended up with spark made by asus. I was building it to the point where I didnt need to exit the site and go google something. What's actually in it:

Key Points
- The LLMRequirements site provides an internet-sourced guide to choose LLM models and the right hardware “rig” based on use case, model, and budget, with two main workflows in both directions.
- It includes side-by-side comparison features for rigs and LLMs, and cites tokens-per-second metrics and reviewer performance evidence (including linked YouTube reviews) for transparency.
- The database contains 60+ build configurations, 50+ models, 130+ cited sources, and tracks power draw (idle and active) and multi-region pricing, with weekly updates.
- It also offers a reverse lookup mode where users provide hardware specifications to find suitable open-weight models ranked by capabilities for tasks such as chat, coding, agents, and reasoning.
- The project exports its data to a public GitHub repository and allows users to submit benchmark updates or report inaccuracies via issues.
