Local model compatibility

Know before you download.

Check whether a local AI model fits your machine, what to install, and where the estimate comes from. Built for people who would rather test than guess.

Method

Why the numbers can be trusted.

Every model page lists its source and last-verified date. Minimum memory is a conservative starting point, not a guarantee. If a number is unknown, the page says so instead of inventing precision.
