I took a practice test (math) and would like to have it be graded by a LLM since I can't find the key online. I have 20GB VRAM, but I'm on intel Arc so I can't do gemma3. I would prefer models from ollama.com 'cause I'm not deep enough down the rabbit hole to try huggingface stuff yet and don't have time to right now.

I don't have any good recommendations. I just upload such one-off requests to AIstudio, ChatGPT and the like. But keep in mind AI isn't perfect at math. They sure make a lot of mistakes with my assignments. I don't know what level your maths test was, AI does an acceptable job at elementary school maths. With higher level maths, it'll give both correct and wrong results by chance. Might be good enough, I don't really know.

I'd recommend Wolfram Alpha. That's not local, nor is it AI. But it solves equations, calculates and transforms and draws graphs with precision and there isn't any guessing involved.

Wolfam alpha actually has an LLM api so your local models can call its factual database for information when doing calculations through tool calling. I thought you might find that cool. Its a shame there is no open alternative to WA they know their dataset is one of a kind and worth its weight in gold. Maybe ond day a hero will leak it ๐Ÿคช

Considering that digital bights aren't really physical and therefore don't weigh anything "worth there weight in gold" doesn't really make sense here. Sorry, I know it's a metaphor but I just had to.

No worries I have my achthually... Moments as well. Though here's a counter perspective. The bytes have to be pulled out of abstraction space and actually mapped to a physical medium capable of storing huge amounts of informational states like a hard drive. It takes genius STEM engineer level human cognition and lots of compute power to create a dataset like WA. This makes the physical devices housing the database unique almost one of a kind objects with immense potential value from a business and consumer use. How much would a wealthy competing business owner pay for a drive containing such lucrative trade secrets assuming its not leaked? Probably more than a comparative weighed brick of gold, but that's just fun speculation.
