HuggingFace Best Model Finder

Finds the best models for a task by querying official HF benchmark leaderboards, enriching results with model size data, filtering for what fits on the user's device, and returning a comparison table with benchmark scores.

Step 1: Parse the request

Extract from the user's message:

• Task: what they want the model to do (coding, math/reasoning, chat, OCR, RAG/retrieval, speech recognition, image classification, multimodal, agents, etc.)
• Device: hardware constraints (MacBook M-series 8/16/32/64GB unified memory, RTX GPU with VRAM amount, CPU-only, cloud/no constraint, etc.)

If device is not mentioned, skip filtering entirely and return the highest-performing models regardless of size. If the task is genuinely ambiguous, ask one clarifying question.

Device → max parameter budget

When a device is specified, extract its available memory (unified RAM for Apple Silicon, VRAM for discrete GPUs) and apply:
