The smallest cataloged machine that runs each size on the GPU (default 8K context). Bigger sizes need more memory — a rig that runs the small one may not touch the large.
| size | minimum rig | verdict | speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13B | AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT · 16GB VRAM | ✅ Runs (tight) | ~14–25 tok/s (usable) |
| 7B | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 · 10GB VRAM | ✅ Runs (tight) | ~35–60 tok/s (fast) |
