Memory needed is the same estimate shown on each model page: the recommended observed file plus 20% headroom and a 1.5 GB runtime allowance. See which setups fit →
These are estimates from observed file sizes, not benchmarks. They don’t account for long contexts or the KV cache, and fitting does not establish runtime compatibility or speed.
