LLM models

Local generation speed estimates

LLM models

Compare LLMs by approximate model size, Q4 memory needs and the weakest listed hardware expected to reach two local generation thresholds: low-speed use and good-speed use.

Before buying hardware for a model: treat the compatible hardware and generation speed as estimates. Verify the exact model, runtime, quantization, context length, prompt shape and concurrency on the hardware you plan to buy. Check recent hardware reviews, hands-on tests, benchmarks and benchmark videos for similar setups.

Estimation assumptions: Q4 quantization, full-memory fit, no offloading and generation speed only. Use the model details page to compare concrete compatible hardware before deciding what to run or buy.

LLM models by minimum listed hardware speed
Model Size Approx. memory
4-bit quantization
Low-speed fit
>= 15 tok/s
Good-speed fit
>= 40 tok/s
Open-weight / local-fit models Listed hardware reaches at least the low-speed local generation threshold.
These models have at least one concrete hardware entry estimated to run locally at 15 tok/s or faster under the table assumptions.
