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
Qwen2 1.5B
Alibaba · 1.5B · runs from 1.0 GB
Qwen2 1.5B is a 1.5-billion parameter base (pretrained) model from Alibaba Cloud's older Qwen 2 generation. It was trained on a multilingual corpus and supports a context window of up to 32K tokens. As a base model, it is designed for fine-tuning and research rather than direct conversational use. While superseded by the Qwen 2.5 series in terms of training data quality and benchmark performance, Qwen2 1.5B remains a lightweight option for experimentation and as a baseline for comparison. Released under the Apache 2.0 license.

Moonlight 16B A3B
Moonshot AI · 16.0B · runs from 7.5 GB
Moonlight 16B A3B is a compact Mixture-of-Experts model from Moonshot AI that packs 16 billion total parameters while activating only around 3 billion per token. This efficient sparse design lets it punch well above its active parameter count, delivering surprisingly strong chat performance for its effective inference cost. The small active parameter count means Moonlight runs briskly on modest hardware, fitting comfortably on GPUs with 8–12 GB of VRAM at common quantization levels. It is an appealing choice for users who want MoE-level performance diversity without the heavy memory footprint typically associated with mixture models.
Llama XLAM 2 8B Fc R
Salesforce · 8B · runs from 4.0 GB
xLAM 2 8B FC-R is an 8-billion parameter model by Salesforce, specifically optimized for function calling and tool use. Built on the Llama architecture, it is designed to reliably generate structured function call outputs, making it suitable for agentic workflows and applications that require models to interact with external tools and APIs. Unlike general-purpose chat models, xLAM 2 focuses on accurately parsing user intent into structured tool invocations with proper argument formatting. It runs on consumer GPUs with 8GB or more of VRAM and is a strong choice for developers building local AI agent systems that need reliable function-calling capabilities.

Falcon 7B Instruct
TII UAE · 7.2B · runs from 3.4 GB
Falcon 7B Instruct is the instruction-tuned version of TII's Falcon 7B, fine-tuned on a mix of chat and instruction datasets to follow user prompts more reliably. It was among the early open models to show that a well-tuned 7B model could handle conversational tasks, summarization, and basic reasoning without requiring massive hardware. While newer models have since raised the bar, Falcon 7B Instruct remains a lightweight option for users who want a responsive local assistant with modest resource requirements.
