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.

DeepSeek R1 0528 Qwen3 8B

DeepSeek · 8.2B · runs from 2.9 GB

With about 8 billion parameters, DeepSeek R1 0528 Qwen3 8B is a dated May 2025 release in DeepSeek's R1 line, built on a Qwen3-based architecture rather than DeepSeek's own base model. It supports explicit step-by-step reasoning, generating intermediate reasoning traces before producing a final answer, which sets it apart from standard instruction-tuned chat models that answer directly. Its modest size means it runs comfortably on modest consumer GPUs, making it accessible for local experimentation with reasoning-style outputs without specialized hardware. It offers a 128K token context window, ample for most reasoning and coding tasks, and is released under the MIT license, allowing broad local and commercial use.

Qwen2.5 3B Instruct

Alibaba · 3.1B · runs from 1.4 GB

Qwen2.5 3B Instruct is a 3.1-billion parameter instruction-tuned model from Alibaba Cloud's Qwen 2.5 family. It is designed for efficient local inference on consumer hardware, supporting a 128K token context window despite its compact footprint. The model can run on GPUs with as little as 4GB of VRAM when quantized. Despite its small size, Qwen2.5 3B Instruct delivers competitive performance for basic conversational tasks, summarization, and simple instruction following. It is a good option for edge deployment and resource-constrained environments. Released under the Apache 2.0 license.

GPT OSS 20B

OpenAI · 20.9B · runs from 9.3 GB

GPT-OSS 20B is one of OpenAI's first open-source model releases, marking a historic shift in the company's approach to open weights. At 21.5 billion parameters it delivers strong general-purpose chat and reasoning capabilities informed by the research behind the GPT family, making it a compelling option for users who want OpenAI-grade quality in a locally deployable package. The model runs comfortably on a single high-end consumer GPU such as an RTX 4090 at 4-bit quantization, or on workstation cards with 24 GB or more of VRAM at higher precision. It occupies a practical middle ground between lightweight 7B models and resource-heavy 70B+ offerings.

NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B BF16

NVIDIA · 31.6B · runs from 9.1 GB

NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B BF16 is a mixture-of-experts chat model in NVIDIA's Nemotron line, with roughly 30 billion total parameters and about 3 billion active per token. That active-parameter count drives inference speed, while the larger total governs memory footprint, and the Lightning name points to a variant tuned for fast responses; weights are published in BF16 precision. The model offers a 256K token context window and is released under a custom license rather than a standard open-source one. With only about 3 billion parameters active per token, it is well suited to running on a single high-end consumer GPU, especially once quantized, despite its larger total parameter count.

Liquid AI · 8.5B · runs from 4 GB

LFM2.5-8B-A1B is Liquid AI's Mixture-of-Experts model for on-device deployment, with 8.3 billion total parameters but only about 1.5 billion active per token, built on the hybrid LFM2 architecture that mixes gated convolution blocks with grouped-query attention. It is reasoning-tuned for on-device personal-assistant use, chaining tool calls and following complex instructions, though it is not the best fit for heavy programming or knowledge-intensive question answering without retrieval. It has a 128K token context window and is released under Liquid AI's custom LFM1.0 license. Because only 1.5 billion parameters activate per token it runs quickly, though the full 8.3 billion still need to be held in memory, roughly 5 GB at 4-bit, well within reach of almost any modern laptop or GPU.

Qwen2.5 72B delivers performance competitive with leading open-weight 70B-class models while supporting a 128K token context window and structured output generation. The model uses a Transformer architecture with grouped-query attention and was pretrained on a diverse multilingual corpus of over 18 trillion tokens. Running it locally requires high-VRAM GPUs or multi-GPU setups, though quantized formats make it accessible on workstation-class hardware. Released under the Apache 2.0 license.

Qwen3.5 0.8B

Alibaba · 873M · runs from 0.6 GB

Qwen3.5-0.8B is the smallest model in Alibaba's Qwen3.5 generation, a dense sub-billion-parameter vision-language model using the same hybrid Gated DeltaNet and gated-attention design as the rest of the family. It is a post-trained, instruction-tuned release, and its publisher notes that at this scale it is best suited to prototyping, task-specific fine-tuning, and other research or development purposes rather than production chat. It supports a 262,144-token native context window and is released under the Apache 2.0 license. At under one billion parameters, it needs well under a gigabyte of memory at 4-bit, so it runs on essentially any modern laptop or GPU.

LFM2.5 230M

Liquid AI · 230M · runs from 0.5 GB

LFM2.5-230M is Liquid AI's smallest model in the LFM2.5 family, a 230-million-parameter checkpoint distilled from the larger LFM2.5-350M and refined with multi-stage reinforcement learning for lightweight agentic tasks. It is instruction-tuned for data extraction and simple tool-use pipelines under the tightest memory and compute budgets, and the publisher does not recommend it for reasoning-heavy work like advanced math, code generation, or creative writing. It is released under Liquid AI's custom LFM1.0 license. At 230 million parameters, it runs on essentially any modern device, including phones and low-power boards like a Raspberry Pi, without needing a dedicated GPU at all.
