# Local / on-device agents — Benchmark Sources & Consensus



Running an agent entirely on local hardware (no cloud API calls).




**Platforms tracked:** [Nemoclaw](https://openclawdatabase.com/nemoclaw/) · [Openclaw](https://openclawdatabase.com/openclaw/)






## Consensus across 3 sources



Across 3 sources, local agent performance swings dramatically with framework design: state machine constraints and hardware/harness choices can boost coding success rates by 10-50+ points over unguided baseline models.








## All Sources



We aggregate published benchmarks; we never run our own tests and never pick winners. Each row links back to the original publication.

## How we work



OpenClawDatabase aggregates and links to published benchmarks. We don't run our own tests, and we don't pick winners. Our weekly benchmark-aggregator routine scans 7+ live leaderboards (OpenRouter, Aider, SWE-bench, GAIA, LMSYS, BigCodeBench, MMLU-Pro) plus relevant Reddit and Hacker News threads, then writes structured entries into `/assets/benchmarks.json`. Every row here links back to the original publication.
