Zhipu's lightweight member of GLM-4.7: 30B total, about 3B active per token, MIT licence. Its attention is MLA, which caches one compressed 576-value vector per token per layer instead of full keys and values — so at 32K context the cache is under 2 GB where a conventional 47-layer model would need several times that. llama.cpp runs it as a DeepSeek-2-style model.

Moonshot's hybrid linear-attention model: 48B total, 3B active, a 1M-token window. Only 7 of its 27 layers keep a growing cache, and those store MLA's compressed vectors, so even the full million tokens needs about 8 GB of cache — the weights, not the context, decide what it runs on. At Q4 a Mac with 48 GB or more runs it comfortably; a 32 GB card holds it only with no room to spare.

Google's Gemma 4 mixture-of-experts model: about 25B parameters in the text model, roughly 4B active per token, a 256K window and image input. Only 5 of its 30 layers keep a cache that grows with context, and those use fewer, wider heads, so the cache stays small — about 0.9 GB at 32K and 5.3 GB at the full 256K. At Q4 that is about 17 GB at 32K: comfortable on a 24 GB card, which can still load the whole window (tight). A 16 GB card is just too small.

Google's on-device Gemma 4: about 4.7B parameters doing the work plus a 2.8B per-layer embedding table, a 128K window, and image and audio input. Only 4 of its 42 layers keep a cache that grows with context, so the full 128K window costs about 2.0 GB of cache. At Q4 it is about 4.9 GB at 4K and 7.0 GB at the full window — an 8 GB card runs it comfortably at everyday context lengths. Sizes here count the whole model in GPU memory, which is what a Mac or a full GPU load uses; llama.cpp keeps the embedding table in system RAM instead, so on a discrete card it needs roughly 1.6 GB less VRAM than shown at Q4.

Hugging Face's fully open 3B model, with its training data and recipe published alongside the weights. It has a reasoning mode you can switch on or off, and a 64K window it was actually trained to, which reaches 128K only by YaRN extension. Four KV heads keep the cache small, so the window is affordable: at Q4_K_M it fits a 4 GB card at short context and an 8 GB card at its full trained window. That also makes it one of the few models here that is realistic on a CPU-only machine.

Baidu ERNIE 4.5

Baidu's open mixture-of-experts model: about 21.8B parameters in total and roughly 3B active per token. Each token goes through 6 of 64 routed experts plus 2 shared ones. The total decides the memory and the active count decides the speed, so it needs the VRAM of a 20B-class model and reads about as much per token as a 3B one. At Q4_K_M it needs about 14.1 GB at 4K context, which is right at the edge of comfortable on a 16 GB card and tight by 32K. A 24 GB card, or a 24 GB Mac through the GPU's share of unified memory, leaves real room for context.

Allen AI's fully open 7B model, released with its training data, code and intermediate checkpoints. Its predecessor stopped at a 4K context; OLMo 3 reaches 64K, extended from an 8K base by YaRN. Three of every four layers use a 4K sliding window, which is what makes that affordable. It still uses full multi-head attention with no shared KV heads, so long context costs more here than on most 7B–8B models. At Q4_K_M it needs about 6.8 GB at 4K context and 10.9 GB at 32K. Without the sliding window, 32K would need about 22 GB. Sizes use the calculator's generic rates, since no GGUF file size could be checked, and no per-level quality loss has been published.

Meta Muse

Meta's first open-weight model since Llama 4, released in August under Apache 2.0 and built to run on one card. It is a dense model: a 28B text decoder that reads images through a separate vision encoder and answers in text. Three of every four layers use a 2K sliding window and the rest share just 2 KV heads, so long context is unusually cheap. At Q4_K_M it needs about 17.7 GB at 4K context and only 19.4 GB at its full 128K window, comfortable on a 24 GB card either way. Q5_K_M is tight on 24 GB, and Q8_0 wants a 32 GB card. The vision encoder (about 1.4 GB as a GGUF mmproj file) and Meta's optional speculative-decoding drafter load on top and are not included. Sizes come from the published GGUF file sizes; the Q4_K_M row is Meta's own official build. Meta's benchmark claims are its own, and no per-level quality loss has been published.

Qwen3.8

Qwen's preview of its next architecture: a 125B mixture-of-experts model with about 6B parameters active per token. Released in August, it also carries a 51B n-gram lookup table. llama.cpp reads that table lazily from RAM or disk, so it never needs VRAM. It does need disk space and is bundled inside the GGUF files, which is why they are far larger than the sizes below. Only 12 of its 48 layers keep a growing KV cache, so even the full 256K window adds about 7.5 GB. At Q4_K_M it needs about 79 GB at 4K context and 87 GB at 256K, comfortable on a 128 GB Mac or DGX Spark. A single 24 or 32 GB card runs it only with experts offloaded to system RAM. llama.cpp supports it as `qwen4exp`. Sizes use the calculator's generic rates, since no file size isolates the model from the table, and no per-level quality loss has been published.

On this site's rule that is tight on a 24 GB card, not comfortable, because it counts a working buffer most guides leave out.

Xiaomi MiMo

Xiaomi's open-weight flagship, near the top of the open-model rankings this autumn. It has about 1.02 trillion parameters, roughly 42B of them active per token, and ships under the MIT licence. The released weights are already 4-bit (MXFP4 experts), and the GGUF builds repack them rather than quantize again. At that level it needs about 604 GB at 4K context, more than any single machine in this index. The largest Mac Studio gives its GPU about 384 GB, and four 80 GB H100s hold 320 GB. Eight 80 GB cards (640 GB) are about the smallest server that holds it, and even that is tight on this site's rule. It is listed so the calculator can say so. Only 10 of its 70 layers keep a growing cache, so even 1M tokens adds only about 50 GB. llama.cpp runs it as `mimo2`, and vision loads through a separate encoder.

Sizes come from Liquid's own GGUF files, and no per-level quality loss has been published.

Muse Spark Open 816B-A42B

816B-A42B
New

Meta Muse

Meta's largest open-weight model, released in October under the Muse Model License. It is an 816B mixture-of-experts model with about 42B parameters active per token, built for coding and agent work, with image and audio input. It is a single-machine model only at its smallest build. At Q2_K (ggml-org's 304 GB file) it needs about 319 GB at 4K context and still only 327 GB at 128K, because just 16 of its 62 layers keep a growing cache — comfortable on a 512 GB Mac Studio and tight across four 80 GB H100s. The full 1M window brings it to about 389 GB. Q4_K_S (470 GB) and Q8_0 (872 GB) fit no single machine in this index. The vision and audio encoders ship as separate files of 2–4 GB and are not included. Sizes come from the published GGUF files; Meta's benchmark claims are its own and no per-level quality loss has been published. The licence is not a standard open-source one: Meta's repository is gated, so downloads need an accepted access request; products built on it must show "Built with Muse Spark Open"; and a company with over $20M in annual revenue must sign a separate agreement with Meta before offering it as an API service.

Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B

74B-A9B
New

NVIDIA Nemotron

NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Bolt is a 74B mixture-of-experts model with about 9B parameters active per token, built to fit a 24 GB card. It is compressed from Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and ships in one build, NVIDIA's own native 2-bit file of 22.0 GB. Only 8 of its 88 layers keep a growing cache, so context costs little: about 23.1 GB at 4K, 24.1 GB at 128K and 25.2 GB at its full 256K window. That is the 24 GB NVIDIA designed for, but over this site's comfortable line, so a 24 GB card reads as tight; a 32 GB card or a 48 GB Mac runs it comfortably. The image encoder is a separate 1.7 GB file. NVIDIA's benchmark claims are its own, and no quality loss for the 2-bit build has been published.

Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 120B-A12B

120B-A12B
New

NVIDIA Nemotron

NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL is a 120B mixture-of-experts vision-language model with about 12B parameters active per token. It is built for coding, tool use and document work, with a context window of up to 1M tokens. Only 8 of its 88 layers keep a growing cache, so even the full window is cheap: at Q4_0 (ggml-org's 71.8 GB file) it needs about 75 GB at 4K and 84 GB at 1M. That runs comfortably on a 128 GB Mac or a DGX Spark 128G, and tightly on one 80 GB card. Q8_0 (128 GB) wants a 256 GB Mac. The vision encoder is a separate 1–1.7 GB file. Sizes come from the published GGUF files; NVIDIA's benchmark claims are its own and no per-level quality loss has been published.

Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B-A3B

30B-A3B
New

NVIDIA Nemotron

The small member of NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 family: a 30B text-only mixture-of-experts model with about 3B parameters active per token. It generates at roughly the speed of a 3B model. Only 6 of its 52 layers keep a growing cache, which makes long context almost free: at Q4_0 (ggml-org's 18.9 GB file) it needs about 19.8 GB at 4K, 20.6 GB at 128K and 21.4 GB at its full 256K window. That is comfortable on a 24 GB card up to 128K and tight only at the full window; a 16 GB card cannot hold it. Q8_0 (about 35 GB) wants a 48 GB card or a 64 GB Mac. An optional 1.2 GB draft file for speculative decoding ships separately. Sizes come from the published GGUF files; NVIDIA's benchmark claims are its own and no per-level quality loss has been published.

Ling-3.1-flash

560B-A25B
New

inclusionAI Ling

inclusionAI's Ling-3.1-flash (Ant Group), released in October under MIT: a 560B mixture-of-experts reasoning model with 25B parameters active per token. It is aimed at agents, coding and long office tasks. Only 9 of its 72 layers keep a growing cache, and those store MLA's compressed vectors, so even its full 256K window adds only about 3 GB: the weights decide where it runs. At Q4_K_M it needs about 371 GB at 4K context, more than any single GPU in this index. The 512 GB Mac Studio gives its GPU about 384 GB, which holds it only tightly on this site's rule; on servers the vendor's reference setup is eight H200s or four GB300s running FP8. Q8_0 needs about 628 GB. The vendor quotes a 1M-token window, but the released config sets 262,144 positions with no scaling, so that is the limit used here. llama.cpp runs it as `bailingmoe3` from build b11571. Sizes come from a published GGUF file, whose maker reports KL divergence rather than perplexity, so no quality-loss figure is shown.

Beam 1.0 501B-A23B

501B-A23B

Reflection Beam

Reflection AI's first open-weight model, released in October under Apache 2.0. It is a 501B text-only mixture-of-experts model with about 23B parameters active per token, built for coding and agent work, with a 1M-token window. Only 9 of its 52 layers keep a growing cache, so context costs little: at Q2_K (DevQuasar's 182 GB file) it needs about 191 GB at 4K, 196 GB at 128K and 230 GB across the full 1M window. That is comfortable on a 512 GB Mac Studio at any context and tight on a 256 GB one up to 128K. Unsloth's dynamic 4-bit UD-Q4_K_XL file (307 GB) works out to about 321 GB at 4K, which still fits the 512 GB Mac; Q8_0 (533 GB) fits no single machine in this index. Sizes come from the published GGUF files; Reflection's benchmark claims are its own and no per-level quality loss has been published.
