Browse 30 LLM models with VRAM requirements, quantization options, and hardware compatibility.
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.

Llama 3.1 8B Instruct
Meta · 8.0B · runs from 3.6 GB
Meta Llama 3.1 8B Instruct is an 8-billion parameter instruction-tuned language model from Meta. Part of the Llama 3.1 release, it supports a 128K token context window and is fine-tuned for conversational use, tool calling, and general assistant tasks. Its compact size makes it well-suited for local deployment on modern consumer GPUs with 8GB or more of VRAM. Llama 3.1 8B Instruct delivers strong performance for its parameter class across benchmarks in reasoning, coding, and multilingual understanding. It is released under the Llama 3.1 Community License and is widely supported by inference frameworks such as llama.cpp, vLLM, and Ollama.
Muse Glimmer 30B
Meta · 29.8B · runs from 8.7 GB
Muse Glimmer 30B is Meta's 30-billion-parameter dense vision-language model, purpose-built for local, always-on AI agents rather than general chat. It pairs a text decoder with a dedicated image encoder for reasoning over screenshots, charts, and documents, and includes native tool-calling with a separate reasoning channel so it can plan multi-step actions and recover from failures. At this size, local inference calls for quantization and a capable GPU; it fits a single high-end 24-32GB-class card, matching Meta's goal of running it entirely on consumer machines. The model supports a 131K token context window, enough for extended agent sessions. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing unrestricted commercial and research use. Published in August 2026, it is Meta's first open-weight model since Llama 4, and ships without the Llama licenses' monthly-active-user cap.
