Models that run on 96 GB

1115 models with published weights that fit in 96 GB — a MacBook Pro with 96. Counted at four-bit quantisation, weights only, leaving the machine about a third of its memory and a gigabyte for context: room for roughly 102 billion parameters. A mixture of experts is counted in full, because it is held in full even though only a few experts compute. 1,115 in all, a hundred to a page; this is page 1 of 12.

An Apple configuration for people who intend to run models rather than occasionally try one. Comfortably holds the seventy-billion class with a very long context, or a mixture-of-experts model whose active parameters are few but whose weights are all resident.
