For
PC owners checking local-model fit
Worth noticing
The calculator separates model weights, KV-cache use, and overhead, then labels results Fits, Tight, Offload, or No.

Field notes

The preset list spans discrete GPUs, Apple silicon memory configurations, and handhelds, while custom inputs include memory type, system RAM, and bandwidth. Users can compare models across quantization levels and context sizes; the RTX 4070 reference table also shows Ollama commands alongside fit verdicts and estimated speed ranges. The extracted material does not show the calculation methodology.
