I benchmarked 37 LLMs on MacBook Air M5 32GB — full results + open-source tool to benchmark your own Mac

So I got curious about how fast different models actually run on my M5 Air (32GB, 10 CPU/10 GPU). Instead of just testing one or two, I went through 37 models across 10 different families and recorded everything using llama-bench with Q4_K_M quantization. The goal: build a community benchmark database covering every Apple Silicon chip (M1 through M5, base/Pro/Max/Ultra) so anyone can look up performance for their exact hardware.
