The key factors determining what models can be run are memory capacity and memory speed: memory capacity determines model size, and memory speed determines the number of tokens per second.

UnverifiedWhen running local LLMs, VRAM capacity is often more critical than computational speed, as VRAM capacity directly determines which models can be run.75% similarUnverifiedModels with hundreds of billions or trillions of parameters can require hundreds of gigabytes or several terabytes of memory when accounting for weights, activations, and optimizer states75% similarVerifiedThe speed bottleneck in large model inference is memory bandwidth rather than insufficient computing power, as generating each token requires loading hundreds of GB of model weights from memory.73% similar
