UnverifiedA 27B parameter model is at the upper boundary of the scale range that consumer-grade hardware (such as an Apple Silicon Mac with 64 GB unified memory) can barely run locally.80% similarUnverifiedFitting the model into 24GB and running it smoothly on 24GB are two separate questions, and peak VRAM under long context and the stability of multi-turn tool calls still await user empirical feedback.71% similarUnverifiedWith advances in quantization technology and improvements in consumer-grade hardware performance, models at the 7B and 13B level can already run smoothly on ordinary laptops or workstations.70% similarUnverifiedThe more realistic form of on-device deployment will likely be running 30B-scale models on 32 GB of memory, combined with sparse attention and retrieval augmentation.69% similarUnverifiedThe advantage of 32 GB of memory is that larger models can be loaded locally without needing to reduce precision through quantization.68% similar
