- The fit estimate includes context-dependent KV cache, sliding-window limits, and about 1 GB for runtime buffers.
Field notes
The checker exposes hardware, GPU count, and context length as inputs, then lists models that fit; entries include quantized size and minimum memory. Its memory model includes the model file, a configuration-derived KV cache (including sliding-window and hybrid-layer limits), and roughly 1 GB for runtime buffers. Separate rental tables compare providers by GPU-hour and memory size, with source links and dated checks.
