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.

Apertus V1.5 8B

swiss-ai · 8.9B · runs from 4.2 GB

299.6K 106

Apertus V1.5 8B is an 8.9-billion-parameter multimodal model from the Swiss AI Initiative, a collaboration between ETH Zurich, EPFL, and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre. Extended from the text-only Apertus 1 through continued pretraining, it accepts images alongside text and can process spoken audio experimentally, letting it reason about visual content in a chat setting. Its compact size suits local deployment on a single consumer GPU once quantized. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing unrestricted commercial and research use, alongside a public acceptable-use policy governing deployment. Published in July 2026, Apertus V1.5 stands out for being fully open in a way few large models are: not just the weights but the training data, code, and development process are published, with an optional reasoning mode for harder prompts.

Opt 350M

Meta · 350M · runs from 0.8 GB

293.6K 150

Meta OPT 350M is a 350-million parameter language model from Meta's Open Pre-trained Transformer (OPT) project, released in 2022 as part of a suite of models ranging from 125M to 175B parameters. It was designed to provide researchers with open access to models comparable to GPT-3 at various scales. The 350M variant runs on minimal hardware and is suitable for research, prototyping, and educational use. While it has been surpassed by modern architectures in terms of capability, it remains a lightweight option for basic text generation experiments and as a benchmark baseline.

Openai GPT

OpenAI · 120M · runs from 0.1 GB

255.1K 314

OpenAI GPT is the original 2018 transformer-based language model that started the GPT lineage, based on the paper "Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pre-Training." At just 120 million parameters, it is a historically significant model that demonstrated the power of unsupervised pretraining followed by supervised fine-tuning. This model is primarily of academic and historical interest today. It runs on essentially any hardware and can be useful for educational exploration of transformer architectures, but it should not be compared to modern instruction-tuned models in terms of practical capability.

Granite 4.1 8B

IBM · 8.8B · runs from 4.4 GB

192.2K 256

Granite-4.1-8B is IBM's 8-billion-parameter long-context instruct model, fine-tuned from Granite-4.1-8B-Base on a mix of permissively licensed open datasets and internally collected synthetic data. An improved post-training pipeline of supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning gives it stronger tool calling, instruction following, and chat behavior, and IBM positions it for business assistants, retrieval-augmented generation, summarization, classification, and code tasks including fill-in-the-middle completions, across a dozen supported languages. It offers a 131,072-token context window and is released under the Apache 2.0 license. At around 8.8 billion parameters, 4-bit quantization needs roughly 5GB of memory, so it fits comfortably on an 8-12GB consumer GPU.

Gemma 4 12B

Google · 12.0B · runs from 6.1 GB

146.8K 749

Gemma 4 12B Unified is a base checkpoint in Google DeepMind's Gemma 4 family, an open-weight multimodal model with roughly 12 billion parameters that takes text, image, and audio input and produces text output. Its "Unified" design skips separate encoders per modality, projecting raw image patches and audio directly into the language model, cutting multimodal latency. As a pretrained release, it's a base for fine-tuning or research rather than direct chat use. It supports a 256K token context window and multilingual pretraining across 140+ languages, and is released under the Apache 2.0 license. At roughly 12 billion parameters, it runs on a single consumer GPU with around 8-12 GB of VRAM once quantized to 4-bit.

Idefics3 8B Llama3

HuggingFaceM4 · 8.5B · runs from 4.2 GB

130.1K 306

Idefics3-8B-Llama3 is Hugging Face's 8.5-billion-parameter open vision-language chat model, accepting arbitrary interleaved sequences of images and text and answering in text: image captioning, visual question answering, multi-image storytelling, or plain text-only chat. It combines a SigLIP-SO400M vision encoder with a Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct language backbone, tiling each image into 364x364 sub-images encoded as 169 visual tokens apiece, which sharply improves OCR and document-understanding scores over the earlier Idefics2. Its post-training is supervised fine-tuning only, without an RLHF stage, so it can give terse answers unless prompted further. At 8.5 billion parameters, it fits on a single consumer GPU once quantized. Context length is 131,072 tokens, inherited from its Llama 3.1 backbone. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, permitting unrestricted commercial and research use, and was published in August 2024, succeeding Idefics1 and Idefics2 in the same open multimodal model family.
