## Quick answers

What is the biggest LLM I can run with 64 GB of VRAM?

Hunyuan-A13B-Instruct (80.4B parameters) is the biggest model we track that runs comfortably in 64 GB at Q4\_K\_M, needing about 57.0 GB with a \~4k context. At Q8 the biggest is Phi-3.5-MoE-instruct.

How many models fit in 64 GB of VRAM?

525 of the 656 open models we track run fully in 64 GB at Q4 with room to spare, 507 also fit at Q8, and 3 more fit only with a short context.

Can I run a model that needs more than 64 GB?

Yes, with llama.cpp or Ollama you can offload some layers to system RAM, but speed drops sharply. For full-speed local inference the whole model plus its context cache should fit in GPU memory; we use 90% of 64 GB as the comfort line.
