Which LLM runs on my machine?

Pick your hardware. For each open model we work out the biggest quant that fits, using real GGUF file sizes from Hugging Face plus the KV cache for your context length.

8 of 9 models fit in about 11.2 GB usable. macOS lets the GPU use roughly 70% of unified memory by default.
