Just joined the local LLM club! What's the best way to stay in the loop on the best local models?

I just got myself an M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 96Gb of RAM. I'm pretty excited to mess around with it, but I don't have a great understanding of the local LLM landscape. Every time I try to google the best models for a configuration, the source is usually months old. In the AI world that's ancient news.

I have a decent idea by just getting on X, but it's hit or miss wether or not I hear about these things. All I really know right now is that qwen 3.8 27B is all the rage, but I want more options.

How are you guys keeping up with the best local LLMs?
