Where can I read about capabilities of a given model?

Hi all, I'm shopping around for the smallest possible model I can afford to fit in my little indie game - it would roleplay as various pilots of ships that you are coordinating to dock and take off from your space station.

I've been told that Qwen2.5 0.5b is a good starting place. I'm familiar with running LLMs locally on my machine, but before I go around stress testing a dozen models...is there a website that has comments from folks on their findings for particular models? I have checked the official huggingface and github repos for the models and saw a few comments, but nothing too in-depth.

Thanks for reading!
