UnverifiedThe download size of a model does not equal the memory required to run it, because model weights, conversation context, temporary visualizations, the operating system, and applications in use all consume memory.75% similarUnverified在UMA架构下应为虚拟机预留足够内存，避免模型加载时触发swap导致性能骤降73% similarUnverifiedWhether a model fits entirely in VRAM is more important than the absolute size of the model file; once CPU offloading occurs, the data transfer overhead between GPU and CPU negates the space advantage of a smaller model.72% similar
