UnverifiedIn on-device LLM inference, model weights, KV cache, and runtime must all fit simultaneously within the device's fixed memory.77% similarUnverifiedLocal multi-model systems are governed by memory budgets, and the core question is whether all components that must be resident at the same time (coordinator, worker models, image generators, etc.) can fit into memory together.76% similarUnverifiedThe actual memory of local deployment consists of three parts: quantized weights, KV cache, and runtime overhead.75% similarVerifiedWhen running local LLMs, VRAM capacity is often more critical than computational speed, as VRAM capacity directly determines which models can be run.75% similarUnverifiedIn addition to the model itself, running a large model requires reserving 1–2 GB of VRAM for the KV Cache (key-value cache).74% similar
