Models
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 GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB. Missing a model that shipped this week? Open an issue — the table is hand-maintained.
| Model | Released | Params | Quant | Weights | Max context | Licence | On this rig | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| Gemma 4 31B The dense flagship: strongest maths of the 24–32 GB class (89% AIME), clean prose, vision. Q4 is a tight 24 GB fit. |

| 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. |

| Llama 4 Scout 109B-A17B A 10M-token window on paper, chunked attention in practice (8K chunks on 3 of 4 layers). Needs 64 GB+ at Q4. |

| 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. |

| Qwen3.5 122B-A10B The 96–128 GB unified-memory model: 122B of knowledge at 10B-active speed. |

| 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. |

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.
