If this is your first time selecting an LLM and unsure of which AI/LLM to select, this is the guide for you!

To help you pick the best model for your needs and your specific graphics card (GPU), I've put together this guide.

Think of it like a PC buyer's guide, but for VN translation. I will be going over everything again so feel free to skip some parts if this guide!


To get started, lets cover some key terms!

VRAM: Video Random Access Memory

Quantization


The Benchmarks

Now that we've covered the hardware, let's talk about quality and what makes a translation good?

To figure out which models are great at doing specific types of translations, I tested them against a handful of Japanese benchmarks. Each one is designed to measure a different aspect of performance, giving us a complete picture of a model's strengths and weaknesses.
