Understanding LLM VRAM Requirements
How much VRAM you need depends on the model size and quantization level. Quantization reduces the precision of model weights, trading small quality losses for significantly lower VRAM usage. For example, a 7B parameter model needs ~14 GB at FP16 but only ~4 GB at Q4_K_M quantization.
Model List
Devstral Small 2505
Mistral AI · 23.6B · runs from 7.2 GB
Devstral Small 2505, internally called Devstral Small 1.0, is an agentic coding model built by Mistral AI in collaboration with All Hands AI, finetuned from Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Base-2503 with its vision encoder removed, so it is text-only. It is designed to explore codebases and edit multiple files as a software engineering agent, and reached 46.8% on SWE-Bench Verified under the OpenHands scaffold, the top score among open models at release, ahead of GPT-4.1-mini and Claude 3.5 Haiku on the same benchmark. At 24 billion parameters it is explicitly built to be lightweight enough for a single consumer GPU or an Apple Silicon Mac, making it a real local-deployment option rather than a server-only model. Context length is 131,072 tokens (a 128k window). It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, permitting unrestricted commercial and research use, and was published in May 2025; a larger 123-billion-parameter Devstral 2 later succeeded it.

Moondream2
vikhyatk · 1.9B · runs from 0.9 GB
Moondream2 is a compact 1.9-billion-parameter vision-language model from the Moondream project, published under developer Vikhyat Korrapati's vikhyatk account, designed for lightweight image understanding rather than open-ended chat. It handles image captioning, visual question answering, object detection, and point-based visual grounding, useful for document pipelines and robotics perception where a full-size multimodal model is unnecessary. Its small size means it runs comfortably on modest consumer GPUs and even CPU-only or edge setups. Because Moondream2 focuses on single-image and short-prompt tasks, it does not advertise an extended context window like larger chat models. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing unrestricted commercial and research use. First published in March 2024, it remains a popular choice for on-device and edge vision applications, with built-in object detection and pointing alongside captioning.
Falcon H1 7B Instruct
TII UAE · 7.6B · runs from 2.6 GB
Falcon H1 7B Instruct is TII UAE's instruction-tuned chat model built on Falcon-H1-7B-Base, using a hybrid architecture that combines standard Transformer attention with Mamba state-space layers in a causal decoder-only design. That hybrid-head approach is meant to keep long-context inference efficient while retaining Transformer-level quality, and the model supports 18 languages including Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and several European languages. On released benchmarks it beats similarly sized Qwen2.5-7B, Llama-3.1-8B, and Falcon3-7B/10B on most general knowledge, science, and instruction-following tasks. At 7.6 billion parameters it fits a single consumer GPU. Context length is 262,144 tokens. It is released under the Falcon LLM License, a custom TII license that permits commercial use subject to an acceptable-use policy and an attribution requirement in derivative works, and was published in May 2025.

Deepseek Coder 33B Base
DeepSeek · 33.3B · runs from 14.6 GB
DeepSeek-Coder-33B-Base is DeepSeek's 33.3-billion-parameter base (pretrained, not instruction-tuned) code model, trained from scratch on 2 trillion tokens (87% code, 13% natural language in English and Chinese) using grouped-query attention, project-level code context, and a fill-in-the-blank training objective for project-level completion and infilling. It is intended as a foundation for further fine-tuning or direct code completion and infilling use, not conversational use; the instruction-tuned DeepSeek-Coder-33B-Instruct is built on top of it. At release, the Deepseek Coder family achieved state-of-the-art open-model results on HumanEval, MultiPL-E, MBPP, DS-1000, and APPS. At 33.3 billion parameters, it needs a high-end consumer GPU or a multi-GPU setup once quantized. Context length is 16,384 tokens. Model weights are released under DeepSeek's custom model license, which permits commercial use. It was published in October 2023, alongside 1.3B, 5.7B, and 6.7B siblings and the corresponding instruct checkpoint.
Agnes 3.0 Flash
Agnes-AI · 33.1B · runs from 14.9 GB
Agnes-3.0-Flash Preview is Agnes AI's 33-billion-parameter open-weight multimodal model offering competitive reasoning, coding, and instruction-following at lower hardware cost than flagship-class models; it understands text, images, and video, supports tool calling, and lets developers dial reasoning effort up or down. This open-weight Preview checkpoint is distinct from the larger production/API "Agnes 3.0 Flash" model on third-party leaderboards, which uses a different checkpoint with a 1-million-token context window, so its benchmark results don't transfer to these weights. Architecturally it is a hybrid-attention decoder where three of every four layers use a recurrent gated-delta-rule mechanism instead of standard attention, so only 18 of its 72 layers hold a KV cache that grows with context. At 33 billion dense parameters, it needs a high-end consumer GPU or multi-GPU setup once quantized. Context length is 262,144 tokens. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, permitting unrestricted commercial and research use, and was published in September 2026.
Magistral Small 2506
Mistral AI · 23.6B · runs from 7.2 GB
Magistral Small 2506 is Mistral AI's small, efficient reasoning model, built on the 24-billion-parameter Mistral Small 3.1 and further trained with supervised fine-tuning on Magistral Medium's reasoning traces plus reinforcement learning. It produces long chains of reasoning before answering and supports dozens of languages, making it suited to multi-step problem solving rather than simple chat. The architecture supports up to 128K tokens, but Mistral recommends keeping usage around 40K since output quality can degrade past that point. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, it is compact enough to fit on a single RTX 4090 or a 32 GB RAM Mac once quantized to 4-bit, in line with what a 24-billion-parameter model needs at that precision.
Qwen2.5 Coder 3B
Alibaba · 3.1B · runs from 1.4 GB
Qwen2.5-Coder-3B is Alibaba's 3.1-billion-parameter base (pretrained, not instruction-tuned) code language model, one of six sizes in the Qwen2.5-Coder family built on Qwen2.5-3B. It was pretrained on 5.5 trillion tokens of source code, text-code grounding data, and synthetic data, and is intended as a foundation for further fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, or fill-in-the-middle code-completion tasks rather than direct chat use; Alibaba explicitly advises against using it for conversations as-is. The family's larger 32B model is described as matching GPT-4o-level coding ability, though this 3B checkpoint targets lightweight, resource-constrained deployment. At just over 3 billion parameters, it runs easily on a single modest consumer GPU or even a CPU. Context length is 32,768 tokens. It is released under the Qwen Research License, a non-commercial license restricted to research and evaluation use; commercial use requires a separate license from Alibaba Cloud. It was published in November 2024.

It is an excellent choice for users who value open science and want a capable, well-documented model for local chat and assistant applications.
MiniCPM O 2 6
OpenBMB · 8.7B · runs from 3.4 GB
MiniCPM-o 2.6 is OpenBMB's 8.7-billion-parameter omni-modal model, combining a SigLip-400M vision encoder, a Whisper-medium audio encoder, a ChatTTS speech decoder, and a Qwen2.5-7B language backbone trained end to end. Unlike a pure vision-language model, it takes images, video, and audio as input and can generate spoken output too, supporting real-time bilingual speech conversation, voice cloning, and live-streaming understanding. At this size it is practical on a single high-end consumer GPU once quantized. Context length is 32,768 tokens. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, permitting unrestricted commercial and research use, and was published in January 2025. Its distinguishing feature is the end-to-end omni-modal architecture, using time-division multiplexing that lets it process continuous video and audio streams and reply with synthesized speech, not just text.

ByteDance evaluates it against agents like OpenAI's CUA and Claude on benchmarks such as OSWorld and Windows Agent Arena. At this size, local inference is practical on a single mainstream-to-high-end consumer GPU once quantized. It supports a 128,000 token context window, useful for long action histories in agent tasks. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, permitting unrestricted commercial and research use. Published in April 2025, it builds on the original UI-TARS architecture with added inference-time reasoning scaling.
Gemma 4 E4B
Google · 8.0B · runs from 3.9 GB
Gemma 4 E4B is Google DeepMind's second-smallest model in the Gemma 4 family, a dense architecture with roughly 8 billion total parameters, of which Google describes about 4.5 billion as its effective footprint at inference. This is the pretrained base checkpoint rather than an instruction-tuned model, meant for fine-tuning rather than direct chat use. Like the rest of the family it is multimodal — text, image, and natively audio at this size — targeting efficient on-device deployment on laptops and higher-end phones. It runs comfortably on a single consumer GPU, or on-device once quantized. It supports a 131,072 token context window. It carries Google's Gemma 4 license terms, published as Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face with additional Gemma-specific usage terms linked from the card.
