Models that run on 64 GB

1047 models with published weights that fit in 64 GB — a workstation. Counted at four-bit quantisation, weights only, leaving the machine about a third of its memory and a gigabyte for context: room for roughly 67 billion parameters. A mixture of experts is counted in full, because it is held in full even though only a few experts compute. 1,047 in all, a hundred to a page; this is page 10 of 11.

A workstation, or a well-specified Mac. Seventy-billion-parameter models fit at four-bit, which is the class where local output stops being obviously worse than the hosted models people pay for. Loading takes real time and the machine will be warm.
