The model listings pair estimated Q4_K_M weight sizes with model families, parameter counts, and license labels. The homepage also links to sections for GPUs, runtimes, storage, people, companies, and events, and shows three maker events dated October 3–4, 2026. Several extracted model entries contain malformed parameter-count strings, and one shows a 0 GB estimate.
