GPUs with memory headroom

Local AI systems with memory 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. Cache uses a conservative full-attention upper bound.
