HoliBench is a modular benchmarking and deployment toolkit that jointly measures accuracy, latency, and energy for foundation models across a wide range of devices, from single-board computers to GPU servers. It provides a platform abstraction layer that calibrates cross-device measurements and supports multiple model modalities, inference engines, and quantization levels. Using HoliBench, the authors evaluated 20 models on 7 device types, revealing tradeoffs such as limited latency gains from quantization on low‑precision hardware and diminishing accuracy returns relative to energy consumption, while also showing that single-model profiles can predict multi-model pipeline performance within a few percent.

The paper argues that AI deployment performance depends on interactions among compression, compiler transformations, and serving policies rather than just model architecture. It introduces a three‑layer taxonomy—model‑level techniques, compiler transformations, and system policies—and frames deployment as a constrained multi‑objective optimization problem over accuracy, latency, throughput, memory footprint, and energy. The authors propose an evidence protocol for comparable benchmarking and synthesize data from edge and data‑center platforms to show that cross‑layer interactions drive deployment outcomes, concluding with a constraint‑aware selection procedure and open research problems.
Lightweight large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being deployed locally on personal computers and are expected to play a growing role in resource-constrained edge and mobile environments. In such settings, energy consumption, execution time, and memory usage directly affect practical usability, yet existing evaluations of LLM efficiency largely rely on proxy descriptors such as parameter count or FLOPs, often decoupled from task precision.
