About VRAMNeeded
VRAMNeeded answers one question per page: how much GPU memory does this AI model need to run on your own hardware? It's for anyone deciding whether to download a model, buy a GPU or rent one.
How we get our numbers
- Model facts (parameter count, layers, context length) come from the official model card and
config.json. - Memory per quantization is the real file size of each download on Hugging Face.
- KV cache is calculated from the config with the formula shown on each page.
- GPU and Mac memory come from NVIDIA and Apple spec pages.
- Rental prices come from the provider's public pricing page on the "checked on" date. Prices change often, so always confirm before you rent.
If a figure can't be traced to a source, it isn't on the site.
