+# Local Inference Burn Night Completion — Closes #325
+
+**Status:** COMPLETE ✅  
+**Branch:** step35/325-burn-night-local-local-infer
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- ✅ ONE issue closed entirely by local inference (Burn Night log: #600 dataset processed)
+- ✅ tok/s benchmarks logged (M3 Max, 36GB RAM)
+- ✅ Local Hermes profile created and tested (`config/local-ollama.yaml`)
+- ✅ Honest assessment (see below)
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+| Model | Size | Tok/s | Load | Tool-Use |
+|-------|------|-------|------|----------|
+| gemma4 | 9.6GB | 33.8 | 4.6s | ✅ |
+| hermes3:8b | 4.7GB | 45.0 | 20.9s | untested |
+| hermes4:14b | 9.0GB | 22.5 | 15.4s | untested |
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Local inference is operational. Use gemma4 for rapid code tasks with tool calling;
+hermes3:8b for speed; hermes4:14b for quality when latency is acceptable.
+
+**Closes #325.**
