76 open-weight models, sized

Updated 21 Aug 2026 5 new this week, 14 this month

Parameter counts, layer counts and attention shapes are read from each model's own config, because the KV-cache arithmetic depends on them exactly. Sizes below are at Q4_K_M and 8K context against a M3 Max · 64 GB. Missing a model that shipped this week? Open an issue — the table is hand-maintained.

Ling 3.0 Tiny 7.9B-A1.3B New
An 8B MoE with 1.3B active and a latent KV cache on only 6 of 24 layers — reasoning and tool use sized for Apple Silicon and edge boxes.

Fara 7B
A web computer-use agent on a Qwen2.5-VL base — it clicks, fills forms and stops for permission. Not a chat model; size it like an 8B with vision.

Granite 4.1 8B
Matches the old Granite 4.0 32B MoE at a quarter of the size. Fast, Apache 2.0, no reasoning traces.

Qwen3.8 27B New this week
The current default local Qwen: dense 27B, text + image + video, 262K context. Only 16 of its 64 blocks keep a KV cache, so long context is cheap.

Muse Glimmer 30B New
Meta's first open weights since Llama 4: a dense 30B distilled from Muse Spark for always-on local agents. Two KV heads keep the cache small.

Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B-A3B New
Mamba-2 + MoE hybrid built for the execution layer of agents: only 6 attention blocks, so the KV cache is almost free. Weights, data and recipe all open.

DeepSeek V4 Flash 284B-A13B New
The V4 that 128 GB machines can actually run at Q3. Cache is modelled as a 576-wide latent; V4 compresses it further at long context, so this is conservative.

Kimi K3 2.8T-A104B New
The largest open-weight model ever published. 69 of 93 blocks are linear attention, so its cache is tiny; its 2.8T weights are the problem.

Weight sizes are computed from the parameter count and the quantisation's effective bits per weight, not read off a file listing — expect them to land within a few percent of the GGUF you actually download. The method, in full.
