GPUs with memory headroom

    No single GPU in this selection has enough memory headroom. Offloading or multi-GPU inference needs a separate plan.

    Local AI systems with memory headroom

      No catalogued Local AI system meets this memory estimate with the reserved headroom.

      Shared-memory systems use a planning budget of 75% of installed memory, leaving 25% for the OS and other allocations. This is an assumption, not a measured GPU allocation. Firmware and driver limits may be lower and may require configuration. Memory matches do not verify a runtime, quantized model artifact or inference speed.

      Includes FP16 KV cache, prompt plus generated tokens, quantization metadata and a runtime allowance. GPU matches reserve 10% of VRAM. Memory fit is not a speed or software-compatibility guarantee; quantized weights and runtime support must be available.

      API cost

      USD / month

      Standard text-token estimate. Excludes taxes, caching, batch discounts, reasoning and multimodal surcharges. Provider limits and regional availability may differ.
