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.

Qwen3.5 4B
The 8 GB coding agent. Q4 lands near 3.4 GB, leaving room for a real context window.

Qwen2.5-Coder 7B
The standard local autocomplete model — small enough to keep resident all day, and still the best FIM model under 8B.

Ornith 1.5 9B New this week
The small Ornith: a coding-agent reasoning build on the Qwen3.5 9B architecture. Same VRAM as its base, thinks before every answer.

Qwen3.5 9B
The default for 8–12 GB cards in 2026: beats every older 8B on every published benchmark, with vision.

Qwen2.5-Coder 14B
Noticeably better at whole-file edits than the 7B, still comfortable on 12 GB.

Devstral Small 2 24B
Built for software-engineering agents (OpenHands, Cline). Dense 24B, 384K window. Not in the Ollama library.

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.

Qwen3.6 27B
The 24 GB coding pick of spring 2026 (77.2 SWE-bench Verified). Same shape as 3.8, one generation behind.

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.

Qwen3.6 35B-A3B
Mixture of experts with ~3B active: the fastest serious model a 24 GB card runs, and the best MoE under 40B on agentic coding.

Mistral Small 4 119B-A6B
Instruct, reasoning, vision and code in one 119B MoE. A latent KV cache (320 wide) keeps context cheap; the weights still want 64 GB+.

Ling 3.0 Flash 124B-A5B New
A 124B hybrid (5 linear-attention layers per MLA layer) with 5.1B active: SWE-bench Pro 56.6 and AIME 93 claimed. Built for 96–128 GB machines.

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.

Ornith 1.5 397B-A17B New this week

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.
