Q4_K_M
The model-specific source lists this GGUF quantization; its memory value remains an approximate planning input, not a file size or runtime guarantee.

Model overview
Available quantizations
Lower-bit quantizations generally use less memory. The compatibility calculator uses these candidates and its transparent approximate memory assumptions; it does not make a performance guarantee.
Q5_K_M
The model-specific source lists this GGUF quantization; its memory value remains an approximate planning input, not a file size or runtime guarantee.
- Bits per weight

Q8_0
The model-specific source lists this GGUF quantization; its memory value remains an approximate planning input, not a file size or runtime guarantee.
- Bits per weight

Compatibility notes
Estimates use the cataloged model-weight size (or a parameter-based estimate), apply weight overhead, and include standard runtime overhead. Context/KV-cache estimates are shown separately only when a target context and supported sourced architecture metadata are available. Real requirements vary with runtime, drivers, and other system use. A model page cannot determine compatibility without your hardware profile; use the calculator for that assessment.
