# Local Frontier

Interactive database for local AI hardware notes plus model metadata and
theoretical memory-side decode bounds.

## Model Data

- `assets/local-frontier-model-data.js` is the model catalog loaded by the
  static app.
- `schemas/local_frontier_model.schema.json` documents the durable model shape.
- `scripts/validate-model-data.mjs` validates required model, architecture,
  adapter, and source fields.

Validate after editing model metadata:

```bash
node scripts/validate-model-data.mjs
```

Validate the bounds calculator reason codes:

```bash
node scripts/test-bounds-engine.mjs
```

## TypeScript UI Migration

The current Space still serves `app.html` through `server.py`; do not add an
`index.html`. New React/shadcn migration work lives under `src/` and is checked
with Slophammer.

Run the full local gate:

```bash
npm run check
npm run coverage
npm run dry
npm run slophammer
npm run mutate
```

## Compare URLs

The model/hardware comparison page supports stable deep links with one or more
models and one or more hardware rows:

```text
/compare?models=<huggingface-namespace%2Fmodel-id>[,<huggingface-namespace%2Fmodel-id>...]&hardware=<hardware-id>[,<hardware-id>...]
```

Examples:

```text
/models/Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B
/compare?models=Qwen%2FQwen3.6-35B-A3B&hardware=nvidia-dgx-spark
/compare?models=Qwen%2FQwen3.6-35B-A3B,google%2Fgemma-4-26B-A4B&hardware=nvidia-dgx-spark
/compare?models=Qwen%2FQwen3.6-35B-A3B&hardware=nvidia-dgx-spark,apple-macbook-pro-16-m5-max-128gb
/compare?models=Qwen%2FQwen3.6-35B-A3B,google%2Fgemma-4-26B-A4B&hardware=nvidia-dgx-spark,apple-macbook-pro-16-m5-max-128gb
```

Repeated query params are also accepted. Model detail pages use the
Hugging Face repo id directly under `/models/`. Older URLs such as
`/bounds/<model-id>/on/<hardware-id>`, `/bounds/<model-id>`, and
`/bounds?model=...&hardware=...`, plus prior slug model IDs, remain accepted
and are normalized to canonical Hugging Face IDs in the browser.
