When you're choosing a local large language model, parameter count is only the beginning of the memory calculation. A 7B model doesn't automatically require 7 GB of VRAM. But saying a 4-bit-quantized 7B model will definitely run on a 4 GB GPU is misleading, too. Here's a practical way to estimate m…
